link for scores on post below but suffice to say the hoys look like they mean business! kitty boggis did a brilliant job on boondoggle but there were lots of good tests. the wether is fab, the going on the soft side of good but drying and the course is similar to last year with a few tweaks and plenty to jump.
 
Boondoggle did a great test I see..I could of bought him last year and now he is in 9th at a 4*! Pip seems a bit of the pace on Ensign-what happend there??
 
he was a bit naughty and kit was just brilliant. I shall shortly post some pics of the meanest water jump ever created if you are brave enough to jump the direct route!! Oh how i love a real four star****
 
i am sure someone will soon post to say i am exagerating about the difficulty of the course but this looks damn hard to me ........

that is part a and b on an angle and the sharp eyed may note the white flag of part c in the distance.....
xccourse002.jpg

this is b to c, yes that bitty ickle space with the tyre on it is c (sorrry about the light by the way) and did i mention this is fence 6.....
this is the second water
xccourse004.jpg

it is number ten and you cant see the white pallisade two strides behind me either
and then there is this
xccourse006.jpg

which is after two vicarge vee type ditch crossing, a rather large table, triple bar and corner combination at an interesting angle tho the last part is numbered separately and then after this i decided not to do more pictures or you lot will be having nightmares. oh and i forgot to mention it is already eleven and a half mins long but the long routes are very ...... very..... very long, though all the hard fences have options and if you took two your time would be up to 12 minutes just like that, lets hope the less brave are the most fit.

OMG, looks tough! Saw Kitty did a good job with Boondoggle, under the watchful eye no doubt of his old rider

Best get on with some reading so I can spend tomorrow afternoon watching it *prays the streaming works*
