Report. Only 31 hounds for the fifth meeting at Bridekirk and Bracelet notched up win number ten to go joint leader of the senior championship and win number three over the course of which the times of the seniors has only varied by one minute over the season. Once more Endure had to settle for second place beaten by a couple of lengths with Persian Bay an encouraging third.

In the pups and a minor upset when Cool Enough notched his first open victory of the season when he pounced in the final strides to deny Liz of her fourteenth victory and in the impending gloom the cows on the finish played a vital role in the result when they impeded the favourite Issabella and although Try Time was also impeded he escaped trouble and won comfortably., Issabella finishing only fourth.
