Bower House in Eskdale , a fine evening but a shade windy. In the seniors Overwater Arnie won again and firmly established himself at the top of the championship table, he won by ten yards from Galemire Grace with Songbird in fifth splitting the three Patterdale hounds for the minor tickets.

Jenny’s Aura won as she liked in the juniors and encouragingly in second place was Miterdale Copper, running again after an enforced rest, in third was kennel mate ‘Rusty’ , all the hounds finished well spread out.

The maidens and four hounds came onto the finish tightly bunched and after chopping and changing , Silverbelle emerged the winner, much to the surprise of one intrepid punter who, apparently can’t get the winner even after they have finished.
