Millar are capable of springing a surprise. The men on th_ limit who should run well are M. Follas, L. Wheeler, R. Leach and A. Vosper. In the junior race, T. Morrison off scratch, will be right up at the finish. He is a very determined runner and -should record a first-class performance under these handicap conditions. The -consistent J. Fowler can be expected to run his usual good race. P. Pennell on the limit is quite capable of a win and will make the harriers behind him know that they have been running’ when the finish is reached. R. Millar is another with good prospects.
