Probable Starters

Starters, riders and weights, may be: Benlomond, L. H. Wade, 155; Coronation Morn, T. L. Wong, 156; Cottonlight (?) 146; Felixstowe, A. F. Clark, 154; Gold Vase, H. Maitland, 153, Mefistofele (?) 146; Merry Jester, J. Pote-Hunt_ 157; Mou Tan Hua, G. P. Gram, 152; Naming Morn, F. Marshall, 159; Night Express, Gabor R 150; Roehampton (?) 158.

I have put Clark down to ride Felixstowe with no rider as yet fixed for Roehampton, but if it should rain, making the track wet and heavy, Clark may ride Roehampton here, take Felixstowe out in another which he could win with esse. a dificult race to forecast but I will put my faith in Marseill's mount to be the winner, with Merry Jester, Gold Vase and Felixstowe, fighting it out for the other two places.
