20 May 2008 Berks & Bucks Draghounds - Kingston Blount
Free: set to line up in the Ladies' Open for the Hutchinson's
The curtain comes down on the South Midlands season with Sunday's Berks & Bucks Draghounds meeting at Kingston Blount.
The first two home in the feature races at the last meeting here earlier this month return to the course for Sunday's principal races.
Free, who won the Ladies' Open for trainer Patrick Hutchinson, lines-up in Sunday's equivalent, while Left To Himself does likewise in the Men's Open for trainer Elliott Newman.
Another winner at the last meeting, Checked Shirt, is entered in the Restricted for trainer Michael Kehoe after finding success in the Open Maiden at the last Vale of Aylesbury meeting.
Alan Hill has several entries at the meeting with Bering Gifts lining up in the Ladies Open after finishing third to Free a couple of weeks ago, while To The Top goes in the same race.
With one meeting to go, the North Oxfordshire Wines South Midlands Championships look to be done and dusted. Chloe Boxall is five clear of her nearest rival Rachel King in the Lady riders' championship and Tom Ellis has a four point lead over David Bass in the Gentleman riders' championship, with Sam Waley-Cohen back in third place on 17 points; while the ultra-consistent Irilut is set to land the Owners' title for Robert Waley-Cohen.
The first of six races at Kingston Blount, which is situated on the B4009 near Chinnor, is 2.30pm.
