Report. A warm afternoon , nice and peaceful , until all hell was let loose as the chairman’s  Grand kids plus another three took command and just about drove me Pat and Caroline around the bend.

But we did see five trails and three of them within eight seconds in length.

In the seniors the favourite Songbird showed with a good lead but on the long uphill finish she tired but had enough petrol in the engine to last home from Miterdale Copper.

The pups and the return of Championship leader Miterdale Shadow and although he had every chance he could only finish fourth to Steel End and brother Cuchulainn and Huntsman’s mist in third,

The non- winners and only five runners-  Kinniside Bess and Huntsman’s Magician were well clear ,finishing in that order.

The restricted trail and a close run thing between to Westmorland hounds , Queen and Grange Music, who finished behind the judge and that might have cost her the race, with Night Vision in third. The final trail , the veterans, and Huntsman’s Hope came with a similar lead as Songbird , but this time the petrol ran dry and Course winner Free Spirit notched up another victory, showing a new lease of life as an “old timer “
