WORCESTERSHIRE trainers, owners and jockeys bid for success at Sunday’s Albrighton and Woodland point-to-point.

The first race is off at 11.30am in Chaddesley Corbett between Bromsgrove and Kidderminster.

William and Angela Rucker’s Lienosus dead-heated for the Ladies Open at the last meeting but the Droitwich-trained gelding now faces much stiffer opposition.

Ex-Champion Hurdle contender Khyber Kim has winning course form and Stratford Stroller led over the last before being passed on the run-in by Lienosus in December.

The 2011 Hennessy Gold Cup winner Carruthers ran well for a long way at Larkhill and Cottage Oak is another for the shortlist.

Jane Williams’ Enville-trained veteran Swift Counsel holds his form well but stable-mate Grandturgeon is preferred, while Awesome George looks set for another good season.

Entries for the Restricted include Black Banjo (Nickie Sheppard, Eastnor) and Blackmill (Martin Weston, Hindlip), who scored impressive wins at the last meeting.

But Black Banjo blotted his copybook with a fall at Cocklebarrow, Gloucestershire, a few weeks ago.

The highly-regarded Detank could prove the best of the winning trio.

Argentato and Big Fella Thanks have course victories and should make their presence felt in the Novice Riders.

Big Fella Thanks surprisingly lost in a two-horse race at Wadebridge, Cornwall, but the course should suit him.

Arthur’s Stone has form under Rules, while Premier Portrait was disqualified when his young rider omitted to weigh in as they attempted their third win of the season.

Real Milan and Jack Jones are heading in the right direction, while Supreme Danehill is one of several weekend mounts for Olympic cyclist Victoria Pendleton.

Big Georgie revels when conditions are testing but moves up to open company, which could prove a step too far at this stage.

Potential opponents in the Men’s Open include the Sheila Crow-trained Connies Cross and John O’Shea’s Executive Benefit.

Green Winter won at Larkhill in the second leg of a double for Cradley trainer John Bryan following Templebraden’s success.

Phil Rowley has his team in form with five winners. Now Ben has won twice and is still fancied against more battle-hardened campaigners.

Young QC has made the frame in all three outings for Abberley trainer Zoe Hammond and is sure to go well in the three-mile maiden but others are preferred.

Gett Off My Cloud and Duke of Spain have similar profiles but Tom Lacey is expected to unleash another unraced youngster Pinnacle Peter, who is taken to prevail.
