Andrea Stehlikova took the tankard at the opening handicap with Richard Ollington and Natalie Seymour taking victories in the Short Distance Challenge for fastest over the course. It was a splendid start to the season with 31 runners taking part, the course in perfect condition and even the company of Ziggi the pug who joined us mid field for an unscheduled extra mile.
