His kennels produced three comfortable wins on good going over the 280 metres trip.
Taking the honours were Joe Pep, Spectre and Magnet, reflecting a successful strike rate for the Solway Coast kennel which saw both Spectre and Magnet also win the previous week.
There was a repeat triumph too for Frannie Hill’s Hawick dog Canny Make It, which had the edge in the 8.30 sprint race, being confirmed after a photo inspection as winner by ‘a neck.’
