A round dozen seniors for the first of Grasmere’s only two meets and an overdue win for ‘Arnie’ by ten yards from Meadow Josie, making a rare appearance on the ‘fell’ and surprising all especially the vice chair. ‘ second are you sure’ , from the owner.

The pup trail and they coped extremely well with what is a difficult trail , first time of asking, two pups established a clear lead but on the finish there were four in with a shout. And it was Jenny’s Aura that prevailed from Canny Mover and ‘Copper’, the first three are all simarlarly coloured , which can be confusing.

In the restricted , in the fading light, it was once again a ‘silent’ finish until the last few yards when a lone voice called in Menorah when realising it was going to win anyway after Eden Rossi had thrown away the lead, Littman was a close up third.
