Report.  A quiet evening at Ward Hall, only 31 runners in the four trails, starting with the seniors where the even money joint favourite Arizona came from fourth to win readily from the other favourite Bracelet with the other three close up and the sixth not far adrift.

The pup trail – Silver Dusk and Telstar went clear on the long uphill finish, the ticketing hounds ran wide and lost ground headed by Accolade.

Black Mist made the journey from Tebay worthwhile when she held off the late challenge of Sunset Ridge ( 5 pts) and making a similar journey , Artisan, won the veterans from Silver Spangle and Tagget.

Two winners from the Westmorland area and three if you count the owners.
