Report. A nice morning on the start of a long day and an extremely boggy field at Dean where only 29 hounds contested the four events.

In the seniors Bracelet added one more to her championship total but ‘ Arnie’ wasn’t far behind and could be on the come back trail. Six out of the eight kept each other company for most of the trail and Westgate Belle, Arizona and Meadow Dixie could all feature in the closing weeks of the season.

Les bt Graham in the pups as Liz got the better of Just Mick by a couple of lengths and in the pup maidens Stand By just headed Wanted on the line for a head victory, all the ticketing hounds were in close contention and it was noted that Geoff Shouting for Kinnisides alternated between Nell and Bess . The final trail saw Ben 10 leading them a merry dance and he won nicely from Starlight , in the betting ring I think the score was Kenny 3 Ian1.

The incoming trailer in the pup trail was puffing slightly ,perhaps the trail rag was a shade heavy. LOL. 1-1
