Iddon held off a double charge by championship leader Jason O’Halloran and BMW’s Danny Buchan late on.
All three riders shared time as the race leader, however, a near crash for Buchan on lap six when momentarily losing the front at turn 8, saw the 28 year-old slip down to fourth.
Iddon regained the lead for the second time after having passed O’Halloran three laps prior, a position he converted into victory unlike all three races at Oulton Park.
Bradley Ray and Rory Skinner both came across the line for their best finishes of the season - fourth and fifth respectively.
Qualifying
BSB championship leader Jason O’Halloran claimed his first pole position of the season at Knockhill.
The man O’Halloran beat to all three victories at Oulton Park, Iddon, was once again second to the Australian, while fastest in both practice sessions Buchan was third.
It was another poor qualifying for defending champion Josh Brookes who could only manage 13th after going through Q1.
Tarran Mackenzie suffered a crash at turn seven late on - will start P15 for today’s opening race.
