Say About It for the Roy Smith team could come on for his fourth at Wadebridge in December, along with This’ll Do for the Les Jefford team who could make amends for his fall at Wadebridge and give talented young jockey Conor Houlihan a good each way chance here.

Tippinawaynow is an interesting ex Irish recruit for trainer Liam Cocoran and could be supported in the betting market, along with previous winners It’s A Steal, and Spookydooky could re kindle their form and be in the mix at the finish here.

Totnes & Bridgetown Racing Company have kindly sponsored both the Men’s and Ladies Open races here, which hold top class entries. In the Ladies race entry Chosen Lucky has won an impressive 14 out of 21 starts to date, finishing second or third in the remaining seven, he could well snatch this for team Summersby and follow up on his second at Wadebridge in December under Charlotte Summersby, who has to be a lady jockey to watch for the future.  Purple ‘N Gold for the Les Jefford team is another with a good record when ridden by Millie Wonnacott who has now graduated to National Hunt winning form, he could be a main contender here under jockey Jo Supple who has ridden him before.

Preview extract

Helen Humphry & Lotus Therapies sponsor the opening Novice & Veteran riders race which has been pre-divided. In the first division, the Tom Malone – trained Art Mauresque stands out having won at the opening meeting at Bishops Court in October. This French bred gelding had decent form when under rules with Paul Nicholls, having won over £180,00 in prize money, before loosing his way. Bloodstock Agent Tom Malone has sweetened the horse up with a change of scenery and he sets the standard here. However he also holds an entry in both the Men’s Open and Ladies Open races, which may be a preferred option for Art Mauresque, this could leave the door open for the Les Jefford-trained Raddon Top who should go well in the first division of the opener and follow upon his second at the East Devon meeting in October, when coming home two lengths second under Conor Houlihan, who holds the ride again here. Sounds of Italy looks an interesting outside raider for owner/trainer/jockey Finbar Milrane, with his two lengths second at Ampton when last seen, but he also holds an entry at the Chaddesley Corbett fixture, so may head there if conditions suit. Kimble winner Sir Mangan could prove a danger coming out of the red hot Alan Hill’s team.

Preview extract

In the second division Chosen Lucky could get another win for the Dean Summersby team, with daughter Charlotte on board. Rolling Dylan is an entry for trainer Laura Parker, who has a good strike rate at this track, and the gelding could find his old National Hunt form when in training with Philip Hobbs, who still owns him, and has the booking of promising young jockey Tom Dixon aboard.

Preview extract

The open maiden race has 40 entries and is likely to be divided on the day. Those that catch the eye are A Tipple Or Two who was unlucky when unseating at Bishops Court, and could go well on his previous runner-up form. Honest Opinion who could be another shrewd buy on previous place form, from Ireland for team Summersby.  Great Colewood for the Ed Walker team could follow up on his second at Bishops Court. Old Town Garde for the Chloe Roddick team with the booking of jockey Angus Cheleda is interesting. Moonaro could improve on his place form for trainer Susan Darke,  and The Kitchenmecanic had previous place form in Ireland and could go well for trainer Teresa Clark. The maiden races have been kindly sponsored by Andrew & Susan Pellowe, David Hardie Plumbing & Heating and Hayley Mason.

Preview extract

The Treavarthen-sponsored Ladies Open race looks to be a thriller in store, with previous course winner The Last But One entered for the Tom Malone team, which could see jockey Jo Supple back in the winners enclosure. They may be challenged by entry Chosen Lucky under Charlotte Summersby if not competing in the earlier Novice race, or the Ed Walker entry Different Gravy. The latter having had decent form under rules when with Nicky Henderson when he clocked up five wins under rules. Once joining the Ed Walker team, Different Gravy’s latest win came at Larkhill in 2018 under jockey Will Biddick, they could be right there at the finish if going well fresh after a long layoff.

Preview extract

The prolific winning gelding Navanman for the John Heard team could take on Art Mauresque in the Moore’s of St Wenn-sponsored Men’s Open which looks another exciting race. Navanman has already scored a hat-trick at this course and may have the booking of either top jockey’s Will Biddick, if Art Mauresque is chosen to run in an earlier race, or Darren Edwards who has won aboard Navanman. Dr Des catches the eye for Welsh raider Gary Barber after his dual hurdle win and third at Exeter in February this year. Also Different Gravy, mentioned before, if not running in the Ladies race.

Preview extract

In the Exeter Racecourse-sponsored Intermediate race, Waterloo Warrier is an outside raider to note if travelling down from the Cotswolds for the Angela Slater team, having good previous National Hunt form and ran a half length third at Maisemore in October. Getting Closer for trainer Alan Hill won his Restricted at Horseheath and followed up with a two length second to Fumet O’Oudaries in his Intermediate also at Horseheath. Voie Dans Voie is another to hold some promising form with a previous maiden win at this track and is now trained and ridden by Will Biddick.

Preview: Cornwall Club Point-to-Point at Wadebridge ON Sun 6 December 2020

The Cornwall Club Point-To-Point is the first of three scheduled meetings to take place this season at The Royal Cornwall Showground, Wadebridge this Sunday 6th December. It will be a welcome return for trainers, owners and jockeys, who have had to keep their horses ticking over during the Covid lockdown. This meeting will still be behind closed doors, but live race streaming will be available on Facebook and hopefully Youtube.

Betting will also be available remotely by telephone, contact numbers are 07974584712 and 07711298746, with the Bookmakers having worked hard to open accounts for those wishing to place a bet. This can be done by opening up an account by depositing funds into their Paypal account by 6pm on Saturday 5th December. Minimum bet deposits are £30 to open, and individual bets are taken at £10 five minutes before the scheduled race time. Full details can be found on the Devon & Cornwall Point-to-Point Website and Facebook page. Seven races are on offer with an earlier start time of 11.00am. 120 good quality entries have been received.

Helen Humphry & Lotus Therapies sponsor the opening Novice & Veteran riders race which has been pre-divided. In the first division, the Tom Malone – trained Art Mauresque stands out having won at the opening meeting at Bishops Court in October. This French bred gelding had decent form when under rules with Paul Nicholls, having won over £180,00 in prize money, before loosing his way. Bloodstock Agent Tom Malone has sweetened the horse up with a change of scenery and he sets the standard here. However he also holds an entry in both the Men’s Open and Ladies Open races, which may be a preferred option for Art Mauresque, this could leave the door open for the Les Jefford-trained Raddon Top who should go well in the first division of the opener and follow upon his second at the East Devon meeting in October, when coming home two lengths second under Conor Houlihan, who holds the ride again here. Sounds of Italy looks an interesting outside raider for owner/trainer/jockey Finbar Milrane, with his two lengths second at Ampton when last seen, but he also holds an entry at the Chaddesley Corbett fixture, so may head there if conditions suit. Kimble winner Sir Mangan could prove a danger coming out of the red hot Alan Hill’s team. 

In the second division Chosen Lucky could get another win for the Dean Summersby team, with daughter Charlotte on board. Rolling Dylan is an entry for trainer Laura Parker, who has a good strike rate at this track, and the gelding could find his old National Hunt form when in training with Philip Hobbs, who still owns him, and has the booking of promising young jockey Tom Dixon aboard.

The Treavarthen-sponsored Ladies Open race looks to be a thriller in store, with previous course winner The Last But One entered for the Tom Malone team, which could see jockey Jo Supple back in the winners enclosure. They may be challenged by entry Chosen Lucky under Charlotte Summersby if not competing in the earlier Novice race, or the Ed Walker entry Different Gravy. The latter having had decent form under rules when with Nicky Henderson when he clocked up five wins under rules. Once joining the Ed Walker team, Different Gravy’s latest win came at Larkhill in 2018 under jockey Will Biddick, they could be right there at the finish if going well fresh after a long layoff. 

The prolific winning gelding Navanman for the John Heard team could take on Art Mauresque in the Moore’s of St Wenn-sponsored Men’s Open which looks another exciting race. Navanman has already scored a hat-trick at this course and may have the booking of either top jockey’s Will Biddick, if Art Mauresque is chosen to run in an earlier race, or Darren Edwards who has won aboard Navanman. Dr Des catches the eye for Welsh raider Gary Barber after his dual hurdle win and third at Exeter in February this year. Also Different Gravy, mentioned before, if not running in the Ladies race.

The open maiden race has 40 entries and is likely to be divided on the day. Those that catch the eye are A Tipple Or Two who was unlucky when unseating at Bishops Court, and could go well on his previous runner-up form. Honest Opinion who could be another shrewd buy on previous place form, from Ireland for team Summersby.  Great Colewood for the Ed Walker team could follow up on his second at Bishops Court. Old Town Garde for the Chloe Roddick team with the booking of jockey Angus Cheleda is interesting. Moonaro could improve on his place form for trainer Susan Darke,  and The Kitchenmecanic had previous place form in Ireland and could go well for trainer Teresa Clark. The maiden races have been kindly sponsored by Andrew & Susan Pellowe, David Hardie Plumbing & Heating and Hayley Mason.

In the Exeter Racecourse-sponsored Intermediate race, Waterloo Warrier is an outside raider to note if travelling down from the Cotswolds for the Angela Slater team, having good previous National Hunt form and ran a half length third at Maisemore in October. Getting Closer for trainer Alan Hill won his Restricted at Horseheath and followed up with a two length second to Fumet O’Oudaries in his Intermediate also at Horseheath. Voie Dans Voie is another to hold some promising form with a previous maiden win at this track and is now trained and ridden by Will Biddick.

Finally up is the Print Concerns NHS Restricted race in which Mustmeetforapint is a previous winner at this track and acts on any going. Starsky could follow up on his win at Bishops Court, and Schiap Hill after his second at Bishops Court. Also Hotel Du Nord could give Will Biddick another training performance and see a promising young jockey Charlie Sprake take a step up the ladder in his career.

Preview extract:

With a herculean effort from Devon & Cornwall Point-to-Point Chairman Frank Yeo, along with Secretary Gordon Chambers, in combination with the Point-to-Point Authority, and the fantastic efforts of the East Devon team, the first fixture of the season is to be held at Bishops Court, Ottery St Mary, to take place this coming Saturday 24th October. Racing will be behind closed doors for this meeting with no public access.

Following the disappointment of the early abandonment of racing in March due to Covid-19 pandemic, a huge thanks must go to the Totnes & Bridgetown Racing Co Ltd for their generous sponsorship to help fund the three fixtures scheduled to take place in the area up until Christmas. Tattersalls are also on board for sponsorship of the maiden races.

Eight races are on offer with a start time of 12 noon. It will be the first fixture to offer live television streaming, headed by Cornelius Lysaght and a team of presenters offering the action as it happens. The card looks really exciting with 142 entries received.

Organisers at the course would like to thank all who have helped and supported getting the event together, along with support staff on the day which include the essential Doctor team of Suzannah Hoult and Lee Humphreys, also the vet team led by James Bosley, Graham Potts, Nigel Woodford and Philip Brown. Sponsorship has come in the way of Banner funds, and the team would like to thank all those involved who have contributed, these include WBW Solicitors, Stephens & Scown Solicitors, Symonds & Sampson Estate/Land Agent, Cornish Mutual, Independent Agri-parts Co, Malcolm Pring and Sidmouth Scaffolding. Also huge thanks go to landowners Andrew and Della Carter.

Preview extract

Art Mauresque for bloodstock agent/trainer Tom Malone, is also entered in the Men’s Open race, but the trainer could run him in the opening Hunt members race. Here he could be the likely favourite and follow up on his win at Cottenham last season under jockey Will Biddick.

Raddon Top holds an entry for trainer Les Jefford, with the booking of talented young jockey Conor Houlihan to ride, they could be the ones to take Art Mauresque on at the finish.

Tattersalls have sponsored the Maiden series, and in the race for four and five year olds there have been plenty of entries.

Those catching the eye are the Getaway-sired gelding Gone Surfing for trainer Jill Dennis, who has a good strike rate with her maiden horses. Mac’s Frontier (Ben Clarke) is the highest rated, and Getaway Cory is an entry for the Neil McClean team who think highly off him and Jockey Josh Newman who is in form with a win at Exeter this week.

Preview extract

The Men’s Open looks to be the feature race of the day which include multiple winning pointer Navanman, last seen when winning by 70 lengths at Buckfastleigh in March under jockey Darren Edwards for trainer John Heard.

There are plenty entered who will try to reel him in, these include the Bethan Childs-trained ex National Hunt entry Jatiluwih, who could be a ride for Will Biddick. The horse has to be respected on his previous National Hunt form, which includes a hurdle win at Cheltenham last November when in training with Phillip Hobbs.

Other’s among the entries are the highly rated Wick Green for trainer Peter Mason, Vivaldi Collonges, and Ucello Conti a half brother to Silviniaco Conti. Ucello Conti had good form in Ireland when in training with Gordon Elliot and is now with Melanie Rowley for Ben Bromley to ride.

Art Mauresque for bloodstock agent/trainer Tom Malone, is also entered in the Men’s Open race, but the trainer could run him in the opening Hunt members race. Here he could be the likely favourite and follow up on his win at Cottenham last season under jockey Will Biddick. Raddon Top holds an entry for trainer Les Jefford, with the booking of talented young jockey Conor Houlihan to ride, they could be the ones to take Art Mauresque on at the finish.

Preview extract

In the Ladies Open race The Last But One is another out of Tom Malone’s yard with decent form, latest clocking up a second at Didmarten in March.

Entry Master Baker (Les Jefford) for Jo Supple to ride holds strong claims having won at Buckfastleigh by 2.5 lengths in March bringing his tally of wins to twelve to date.

Millanisi Boy won the Novice Riders race at the Buckfastleigh meeting under Fergus Gillard who has progressed well, and now has the booking of Emma Jones to ride.

Mendip Express could give young Molly White a competitive ride around, the now veteran had some good National Hunt form when in training for Phillip Hobbs, and the young jockey will be keen to progress her future here.

Preview: East Devon Point-to-Point at Bishops Court, Ottery St Mary on Saturday Oct 24th

Written by: Donna Harris

With a herculean effort from Devon & Cornwall Point-to-Point Chairman Frank Yeo, along with Secretary Gordon Chambers, in combination with the Point-to-Point Authority, and the fantastic efforts of the East Devon team, the first fixture of the season is to be held at Bishops Court, Ottery St Mary, to take place this coming Saturday 24th October. Racing will be behind closed doors for this meeting with no public access.

Following the disappointment of the early abandonment of racing in March due to Covid-19 pandemic, a huge thanks must go to the Totnes & Bridgetown Racing Co Ltd for their generous sponsorship to help fund the three fixtures scheduled to take place in the area up until Christmas. Tattersalls are also on board for sponsorship of the maiden races.

Eight races are on offer with a start time of 12 noon. It will be the first fixture to offer live television streaming, headed by Cornelius Lysaght and a team of presenters offering the action as it happens. The card looks really exciting with 142 entries received. The Men’s Open looks to be the feature race of the day which include multiple winning pointer Navanman, last seen when winning by 70 lengths at Buckfastleigh in March under jockey Darren Edwards for trainer John Heard. There are plenty entered who will try to reel him in, these include the Bethan Childs-trained  ex National Hunt entry Jatiluwih, who could be a ride for Will Biddick. The horse has to be respected on his previous National Hunt form, which includes a hurdle win at Cheltenham last November when in training with Phillip Hobbs. Other’s among the entries are the highly rated Wick Green for trainer Peter Mason, Vivaldi Collonges, and Ucello Conti a half brother to Silviniaco Conti. Ucello Conti had good form in Ireland when in training with Gordon Elliot and is now with Melanie Rowley for Ben Bromley to ride. Art Mauresque for bloodstock agent/trainer Tom Malone, is also entered in the Men’s Open race, but the trainer could run him in the opening Hunt members race. Here he could be the likely favourite and follow up on his win at Cottenham last season under jockey Will Biddick.  Raddon Top holds an entry for trainer Les Jefford, with the booking of talented young jockey Conor Houlihan to ride, they could be the ones to take Art Mauresque on at the finish.

Tattersalls have sponsored the Maiden series, and in the race for four and five year olds there have been plenty of entries. Those catching the eye are the Getaway-sired gelding Gone Surfing for trainer Jill Dennis, who has a good strike rate with her maiden horses. Mac’s Frontier (Ben Clarke) is the highest rated, and Getaway Cory is an entry for the Neil McClean team who think highly off him and Jockey Josh Newman who is in form with a win at Exeter this week.

In the Ladies Open race The Last But One is another out of Tom Malone’s yard with decent form, latest clocking up a second at Didmarten in March. Entry Master Baker (Les Jefford) for Jo Supple to ride holds strong claims having won at Buckfastleigh by 2.5 lengths in March bringing his tally of wins to twelve to date. Millanisi Boy won the Novice Riders race at the Buckfastleigh meeting under Fergus Gillard who has progressed well, and now has the booking of Emma Jones to ride. Mendip Express could give young Molly White a competitive ride around, the now veteran had some good National Hunt form when in training for Phillip Hobbs, and the young jockey will be keen to progress her future here.

The PPORA Club Members race entry Ueueteotl could follow up on his form when third at Barbury under Heidi Stevens, Rolling Dylan looks an exciting prospect for trainer Laura Parker, and Every Breaking Wave for Somerset based trainer Claire Hitch, could run well having been placed on eight of his ten starts to date, having won three, and jockey Martin McIntyre will been keen to get a good start to the season.

In the Print Concerns Restricted race, this could be between Buckfastleigh maiden winner Steven Steel for Janet Ackner andjockey Darren Edwards, Thechaseison after his second at Badbury Rings trained by Christopher Barber, and Schiap Hill having scored second at Charing in February for jockey Charlie Marshall.

Finally up there are two divisions of the Maiden race for horses six years and over, which looks to hold plenty of talent of the future. Suggestions in the first could be A Tipple Or Two (Caroline Keevil), Businessman for trainer Les Jefford, Grey Getaway owned and trained by Matt Hampton, and Some Boy McCoy for the formidable Alan Hill team. Whilst in the second division, I’m Wiser Now (Sally Randell) and Starsky (Tom Malone) should go well judged on previous place form.

Organisers at the course would like to thank all who have helped and supported getting the event together, along with support staff on the day which include the essential Doctor team of Suzannah Hoult and Lee Humphreys, also the vet team led by James Bosley, Graham Potts, Nigel Woodford and Philip Brown. Sponsorship has come in the way of Banner funds, and the team would like to thank all those involved who have contributed, these include WBW Solicitors, Stephens & Scown Solicitors, Symonds & Sampson Estate/Land Agent, Cornish Mutual, Independent Agri-parts Co, Malcolm Pring and Sidmouth Scaffolding. Also huge thanks go to landowners Andrew and Della Carter.
