POINT-to-point enthusiasts will be crossing their fingers for the rearranged date on Sunday for the North Herefordshire Hunt fixture at Whitwick Manor, Newtown, Lower Eggleton.

The original eight-race card of 202 entries stands, though the start of the first race has been altered to 1pm.

Frank Morgan, entries secretary for 'more years than I care to remember!', has split the maiden event into three divisions.

Traditionally, the left-handed undulating course is popular with owners wanting a 'galloping track', and equally so with spectators as it has superb viewing from the natural grandstand.

The course is situated close to the busy junction of the A417 and A4103, 8 miles north-east of Hereford.
