Report.

Not many runners but nevertheless an intriguing nights trailing in the Miterdale valley courtesy of the Steele family.

Thirteen seniors faced the starter and all of them were in with a ‘shout’ as they entered the final five minutes. Onto the last meadow and victory for the favourite Galemire Grace seemed assured but she couldn’t contend with the finishing burst of Rooster who ‘got up’ on the line to win by a length ( contrary to what Jim Batty says) with Night Vision and Jazz Singer just behind.

Another’ hat in the ring’, another puzzle to the already unpredictable puppy championship, when course  specialist ‘Daisy Dream ‘was edged out by Jenny’s Delight , who won by a length with Thorn Dancer in third (on holiday in Patterdale).

Maurice Bewley’s MIdnight Show finally got her head in front in the non-winners event and in second ,’Force’ finally getting over the line, much to the relief of Sophie.

Littman was made favourite in the last but drifted in price when someone stated ‘it wont finish’

Well ! if you appear with a minutes lead on the finish -then in my conclusion, you don’t have to finish fast, an amble will do!  and that’s what it did. Da Look was second with the favourite in third place nicely clear of ‘Tommy’ in fourth.
