STEEPLZCHASING.
WORCESTER. —Of the twenty-two acceptances for
the Grand Annual, which will be run on Friday next,
the 3d proximo, a field of fifteen or sixteen may be ex-
pected to start. Last year the number was sixteen ;
but Chandler, who, in November, 1847, with Captain
Little, 10.,t 101 b, was the winner, being this time pe-
nalized for his victories at Leamington (list 121 b), and
at Liverpool (11st 121 b), with the topping or stopping
weight of 12st 71b, is withdrawn. Proceed (winner at
Wakefield, with .11st 41b up) now heads the list at
12st 21b, but is a doubtful goer. In the betting, Versa
(9st 71b) holds first place at 8 to 1; Peter Simple
(lost 71b), Linkboy (10st), and Thurgarton (10st 41b),
next sharing public favour at 10 to 1 each. Royston
Gower (9st) may be quoted at 12 to 1, and Repealer
(lost 41b) at 14 to 1. Verax is undoubtedly well in,
and Repealer is a dangerous horse to stand heavily
against; yet there is an animal not mentioned in the
market list, hight Justice to England, which we cannot
help expecting to prove an antithesis to his two-thirds
namesake, Justice to Ireland, on whom we would re-
commend a long shot to be stood. His weight, 9st 10Ib,
is moderate, and if our Northamptonshire friends be
good judges, is a staunch nag across country.
