Directly the flag was lowered, which it was at the first
attempt, Thorndyke rushed to the front, and at a good
pace cut out the work with a strong IPad of the Attack
colt and Vixen gelding side by side, Airdrie and Duchess
succeeding them, the rear being brought up by Aurifera
and Fervacques. In this order they went up the hill,
Thorndyke maintaining a lead of at least half a doz m
lengths into the furzes, the Attack colt taking second pines;
in the furzes, Clairon joining the Vixen gdding, Airdrie
running level with the pair, but rather wide on the right.
On emerging from the fumes, Clairon fol. a few strides
showed in advance of the Vixen gelding and Airdrie, but
shortly after was passed by both of them, the only other
noteworthy change that occurred being the advance-
ment of Aurifera from the rear to a position at the quar-
ters of the Vixen gelding, who was succeeded by Tormen-
tor, Fervaccoes still acting as whipper-in. Descending
the hill towards the bend the lot closed upon Thorn-
dyke, who was in difficulties directly Tottenham Corner
was reached, and tho Attack colt at once took a slight lead
of the Vixen gelding, who, however, retired when fairly
in the line for home, leaving the race to be fought out by
Lord Wilton's colt, Clairon, and Lord Palmerston ; the
former obtained a slight advantage till just outside the dis-
tance, when Clairon took up the running, and, stalling off
-the Attack colt at the Stand, won cleverly by three-quar-
ters of a length ; Lord Palmerston was a bad third, just
clear of Airdrie and Tormentor, who were head and head,
fourth and fifth ; Aurifera sixth, Thorndyke seventh,
