MY OLD PIANO: can continue great run of form in the Mens Open

The Derwent Hunt Point-to-Point takes place at Charm Park on Sunday 6th March, with the first race due off at 12.30 pm. There are six races, although the last, the Open Maiden Race, looks set to divide on the day after it attracted 49 Entries.

The first race is the Hunt Members race and this will be followed by a parade of the Derwent Foxhounds.

The second race is due off at 1.10 pm and has attracted 31 Entries. Lem Putt is likely to go off favourite and the 3lb penalty he received for winning a division of the Confined race at the Sinnington Point-to-Point is unlikely to impede him.

The Mens Open and Ladies Open both look like very competitive affairs and My Old Piano should be able to continue his winning ways in the Mens Open, while it would be great to see prolific winner Eliza Doalott get her head in front for the Ladies equivalent as she looks to be returning to form.

Lewesdon Tom got into the winning groove early in the season at Sheriff Hutton and won in a way to suggest he can progress to restricted class and shouldn't be far away in the restricted race.

Charm Park is a delightful course near Scarborough and the postcode for satellite navigation is YO13 9QU. The horses can be seen all the way around the course and it is a very fair course which often produces competitive racing. Admission is £8 per person in the public car park and £10 per person in the reserved car park.
