TOMORROW sees the opening of the local point-to-point season when the North Herefordshire Hunt hold their fixture at Whitwick Manor.

One of the highlights for racegoers on the nine-race card which starts at 12 noon, will be the Ladies Open -- a qualifier in the Gerard series.

The Ladies Open has attracted 27 entries in-cluding Upton Adventure, who was a close second on her reappearance, plus ex-chaser Wandering Light, Class of Ninetytwo and Teme Willow.

The Mens Open has 34 entries including highly regarded Major Benefit.
