The Holderness Hunt Point-to-Point will be held at Dalton Park on Sunday, with the first race due to be run at 1.30pm.

There are 107 entries for the seven-race card, with the most Entries in the Confined race (20). The last race, the Open Maiden, has been split at Entry stage.

There are 14 in the Hunt race and it looks like it could be one of the most competitive renewals of this race for some time; Chris Cundall and Major Shark will be hoping to retain the title they won last year, however recent Maiden winner Boxbury could put up a very good show and The Real Tom Eoin has been putting in good performances this season. The course is ideal for stayers and this should suit Ask Bobby down to the ground.

Gunner Jack will take all the beating in the Confined race after his easy win in the Hunt race at Duncombe Park.

Poppy Day has been running very well this season and it would be great to see her take on Lutin Du Moulin in the Ladies, who has also won twice this term. Wilfie Wild's stamina will be well suited by this course and it would be fantastic to see the veteran finish in the frame.

The postcode for satellite navigation is HU17 7PW and admission is £35 per car for the reserved car park, £25 per car for the non-reserved car park; single occupancy is £10 per car and pedestrians pay £5.
