Under the increasing heat during the recent good spell, the grounds of Balmoral Park were in foot perfect condition for the 200 competitors that came through the main international grass arena.

In the 1.35m it was regular competitor Kenneth Graham who took the win on-board Democrat owned by Lee Johnston. Graham led the field as eight combinations made it through to the jump-off over the course designed by Aaron McCusker.

As always in arena 2, the unregistered arena was very well supported.
