16 combinations went to the jump off with Young Rider, Mikey Pender putting it up to the big lads with a fantastic time on Marian Hugh’s Shake It.  One after another, the combinations took chances to try and beat Mikey’s time with a zero score but failed until the last combination arrived.  You could feel the tension in the crowd, while John whished around the course to beat the Junior rider by a comfortable 2 seconds.   Well done to John for a fantastic round on “Mise le Meas” and to Mikey Pender on “Shake It” who only sat up on his mount that morning for the first time.
