Second place went to Katie Mcgregor from Avon Bridge, Falkirk as she rode her own 12-year-old bay gelding, Fagas Adare to the final double clear of the class in 47.88 seconds.
Claire Simpson from Stranraer, Wigtownshire jumped in to third place with Galwaybay Blanco, a seven-year-old chestnut gelding owned by Harry Rodgers. This pair had a pole down to finish in 51.79 seconds with 4 faults.
