Adam Wadlow, Clerk of the Course, expressed his excitement, stating, “Despite the challenges posed by the heavy rain this year, our course has rebounded remarkably well.

“From being flooded on Easter Monday to now boasting ideal jump racing conditions, we’re thrilled to be back on track. With Point-to-Point racing experiencing a decrease in fixtures this season, the increased entries signal a keen enthusiasm among horses and trainers. We’re looking forward to showcasing seven thrilling races for our eager spectators.”

The additional races on the card are a special treat for attendees, with the members race originally scheduled for Easter Monday now set to captivate the expected large crowd.
