The evening concluded with the three finals, the first, the Novice going to the in form Brywins Lucky Charm owned by the Jones family from Brecon and driven by usual pilot Aled Davies from Dihewyd, in second place was the impressive grey, Hyar Temptation (Thomas Tregroes) while Miss Jackpot (Langford Ammanford) was third.
The Grade B Final went to Kickstart owned by the Williams family Brecon and driven by trainer Andrew Hardwick, second was Too Hot Today (Jones Merthyr) with The Bold Jack (Gething Gilwern) in third.
