Judges: Alan Hopkins-Young & Patrick Morley

A good Novice Stake with a high standard of dogwork. Tough and challenging grounds - in a mix of mainly bracken and brambles in woodland. Dry and kind weather from start to finish. Good scenting conditions.

Many thanks to the judges and all who helped, Steward Of The Beat, Paul Neil, who guided us all safely through the dense wood and presented strong and well flying game and was a most friendly host. Really enjoyed being part of it and shooting at this trial in very good company.
