SPORTING OPINIONS.

GRAND NATIONAL STEEPLECHASE.

Bell's Life.—Supposing Chimney Sweep, Daisy,
Alcibiade, Tusculanum, Fan, and Clansman or
Despatch, to be really the cream of the practised
hands and all alive, there is Mr. Brayley to be
feared, whilst backers of horses might possibly get
on half the field, and then " skin the lamb." Con-
sequently, the boldest plungers may come the best
off, and we are content to stand on our old friend
Chimney Sweep, or Tusculanum.
Sporting Life.—Ainong the heavy weights, Chim-
ney Sweep, Hornet, and Alcibiade strike me as pos-
sessing the best chances, and in the light weights 1
lean to Fan, Clansman, and Moose, and this leaves
me with precisely half a dozen representatives to
defeat the field. Should all go well, we shall doubt-
less see one of this lot win, and in standing upon
two I shall trust to Fan and Chimney Sweep ; while
in the battle for places we shall doubtless see Clans-
man and Moose, and I shall be much disappointed
if Lord Coventry's game scion of Ethelbert and
Smut does not run home either first or second.

Sportsman.—l consider the following four,
viz., Moose, Chimney Sweep, The Lamb, and
Huntsman's Daughter to be the pick of the handi-
cap, and of these, assuming the betting to furnish
a true indication of Mr. Brsyley's intentions, I shall
give the preference to Moose and Chimney
Sweep.
Sporting Gazette.—having " spun a yarn," and
given my opinion of every horse likely to take part
in this great contest, it only remains for me to sum
up, which I do by giving an unqualified vote for
The Lamb, next to whom I expect to see the best of
Mir. Studd'e, Helen, Chimney Sweep,
and Tuscula-
num.

Sunday Times.—We have a wholesome dread of
Chimney Sweep, Despatch, and Moose, but if Fan
is meant, she must win ; and should the chapter of
accidents favour our outsider, possibly that lucky
one will be Huntsman's Daughter.
