The horses were not very busy during the earlier 

 weeks, Sea Song was stopped by his penalty in the 

 Alexandra Handicap at Gatwick on the 9th of April, 

 and the stable was not represented until the New- 

 market Craven Meeting, when Glenhattie formed one 

 of the field of twenty-two for the Ashley Plate, a prize 

 for which His Majesty's Dayspring started favourite, 

 to be beaten out of a place by the late Madame Vari- 

 pati's Gleneskaki. Better things were in store. It 

 was evident that He could not have given his running 

 at Lincoln. He tried again in the Babraham Plate, 

 sharing favouritism with Mr. R. W. Tilley's Morning 

 Star to whom he was giving 16 lb., and he not only 

 won but did so in a canter by six lengths.
