The HTA meeting at Sandale Heights provided James McClelland with another win by his senior table leader Duchess Ava.
It was her sixth win of the season and she had the consistent Kirkhead Rebel as her nearest challenger in second place in a strong field of 33.
Duncan Chisholm’s hound Fly Me To the Moon won the maidens by about 10 lengths from Thorn Pop.

The Dearham hound had a couple of lengths in hand of Huntsman’s Rebel, one of the leading pups so far this season.
Silver Streak could be one to watch over the next week at Bridekirk and again at Sandale Heights for the HTA Jubilee trails.
Thorn Lightning. owned by Joanna and Molly Burrows, took the honours in the puppy maiden trail, finishing head of Malcom Holmes’ Sweet Dreams.
