Sorry guys. For the welfare of our competitors and Equines, we have sadly taken the decision to cancel Saturday.

We will get together to look at an alternative date and update you asap.

It’s a hot one again 🥵
We are starting early on Saturday to miss the afternoon heat, however we are doing a final ground inspection tomorrow lunchtime and will post an update then 🤞
