A field of 12 took to the trail for the Seniors. Sportsman for Willie and Craig Mark was sent off as the favourite.

The hounds can be seen going past the trail field at the half way point and leading the way was still Delta Fortune who had a small lead on Denton Adonis but Delta Fortune began to pull away as the race furthered.
When they showed onto the back before finish Delta Fortune, Denton Adonis and TikTok had developed an advantage but scaled and Denton Adonis took the advantage and dropped down in front.
