Following a day of heavy rain the evening got out and Wednesday proved a good night for hound trailing at one of the most testing trails in the HTA.

There was just a small field of runners for the senior trail at Wardhall as many owners opted for the shorter races later in the evening when it was slightly cooler.

Trail times were moved back to avoid the heat of the afternoon at Steel Rigg as the HTA came to terms with the increase in temperatures.

Last night was quite warm for the hounds in the HTA meeting at Dearham, which had the potential to catch out a few.

It was another fine night for hound trailing when the HTA moved back to Kirkland for their mid-week action.

The second in a series of three meetings at Kirkland took place last night in glorious weather conditions.

Stunning weather was the order of the day at Low Place which staged a five card HTA meeting and although entries were average across all the races but there were some exciting finishes.

The first in a series of three trails at Kirkland was staged last night by the HTA.

Trailing resumed at Cold Fell and although numbers were improved from Thursday night some of the main players were keeping their dogs back to race fresh on Monday at The HTA May Day Trails at Helton.

Roles were reversed in the senior trail at Cobra Castle last night following the meeting there on Monday.
