Report. Another warm day ( shorts appeared anybody selling fake tan would have ‘ cleaned up ‘) . A few hounds in the seniors called it a day at half way, but this didn’t take the shine off Tommy’s victory ( minus Shirley) he battled on well to beat the consistent Galemire Grace.

The pups and once again the weather proved to be a ‘bugbear’ . They appeared on the long downhill finish strung out like Monday Mornings washing. Overwater Hally ,seemingly, had an unassailable lead , but as song goes ‘ don’t  dilly- dally ‘ on the way. He slowed, then stopped, then ran on, then looked for water and still led with only yards to go only to see the well -oiled  ‘ Rusty’ pass to claim his first win.

Song Bird , former puppy champion, and at the odds of 6/4, rewarded her followers with a convincing win in the maidens. To say she won by a mile would be accurate over the well- ironed Eshdale Matilda).
