I see he has been given a loose-leaf rating of 146 after last week. Is that one of the highest ratings given?

                                     HOLDERNESS POINT TO POINT PREVIEW

The splendid old parkland setting of Dalton Hall near Beverley plays host to the Holderness point to point next Sunday22nd March. The 74 entries across the six race card include some very good horses and there should be some exciting racing to keep everyone well entertained.

Racing gets underway at 1.30 pm with the Smailes Goldie Holderness Hunt Members and this features a rematch between last year's one two Blue Sans and Sunset On Fire. The former prevailed by a mere short head before going on to win the prestigious Grimthorpe Gold Cup and providing Sunset On Fire is fit enough for what will be his seasonal debut there should be little between the pair again. The Clark family who own and train Blue Sans have an able deputy entered in Sam Magee who ran well in good company at Friars Haugh last time…

                                         HURWORTH POINT TO POINT REVIEW

There can be few more glorious places in the point to point world than the bank in Skutterskelfe Park in the bright spring sunshine with the racecourse below and the beautiful vista of the Cleveland Hills beyond. With the weather kind last Saturday 14^th March a large crowd was able to enjoy some super competitive races which produced thrilling finishes to get everybody excited.

Twenty four hours after the the Cheltenham festival drew to a close, one of the stars of Gold Cup day made his visit worthwhile with his only ride a winning one. The man in question was Henry Crow whose win on Barton Snow was described by Sir Tony McCoy as the ride of the week, which was some accolade and the ride he gave Baby Chou to win the Steven Beane Farrier Restricted race was another cracker. Always at the head…

THE WEST NORFOLK and NORTH NORFOLK – FAKENHAM

Sunday March 22nd 2026

1.00 Conditions (Level 1) – 10 entries

Many of these have options, not only here but at other meetings over the weekend. Cheytac is not in that catergory, and this 7yo is the youngest entrant in the contest. He was an impressive winner last time out at Kingston Blount, on his first start since a wind-op.

He is progressive and won the restricted on this card last season. The Big Lense is one of the senior members in this, but is very useful, and unbeaten in four starts pointing, he won the Mixed Open on this card last season. He gets in here unpenalised on this his seasonal debut, and sets the standard. My Gift To You, like The Big Lense, is trained by Jenny Owen. He's won 8 times under rules including 5 chases, and has no…

Following a dry couple of days, the going is now Good, Good to Soft in places. A further update will follow on Friday morning.
