Another sprinkling of unraced point-to-pointers will gain their first taste of action when the GB Pointing Bonus Young Horse Maiden Series arrives at Charm Park’s Yorkshire Jockeys’ Club meeting on Sunday.
Ten entries have been taken for the Tattersalls Cheltenham-sponsored contest, including six who have yet to face the starter. Among likely runners is Kingofthefrontier, a five-year-old son of Overbury Stud stallion Frontiersman and one of two entries from the Yorkshire stable of Cherry Coward. The other is First Orchid, a mare by Scalo, a stallion who was standing at Yorton Farm Stud in Powys when she was conceived.
Coward’s daughter, Sam, said: “Kingofthefrontier is the one we’re keen to run. He’s going well at home and his dam, Yoohoof, won a point-to-point.”
Having been bred in Britain, and if winning Sunday’s race, Kingofthefrontier would qualify for a £25,000 bonus should he go on to success under rules from a licensed yard within two years. A horse bred outside of Britain who wins a race in the series would be in the running for a £15,000 bonus.
Given that Sam and her sister Jacqueline are joint licence holders the family have all the bases covered, although Sam said: “If he were to win I’d like to sell him, but I don’t think he’s big enough for one of the top-end thoroughbred sales. He’s not the biggest, but he’s tough, and he thinks he’s big. We can all dream.”

Rory Bevin, a member of the meeting’s organising committee, is looking forward to the debut of Kalyeeda Creek, a four-year-old daughter of Order Of St George. Bevin, an assistant trainer to Tim Easterby – whose son Thomas has entered Rye’s Words – leaves the training of Kalyeeda Creek to his mother, Louise, who is based in Rutland. The filly is a family horse, but runs in the name of her husband, William.
Rory said: “I bought her out of a Thoroughbid online sale last summer (£5,000) from Patrick Fennessy of Ballinaroone Stud, and he seemed a fair man to deal with so I also bought another filly, by Pillar Coral, from him at the same sale. I was so pleased with the pair that in December I bought a yearling filly by Old Persian from him.
“Being part of the committee means I sort of target this race and have won it in the past and had a horse placed in it. Kalyeeda Creek’s dam was a good mare who won races – I wouldn’t have been able to afford that sort of pedigree if she’d been in a live sale. She seems a nice filly, and I’d be optimistic she’ll run okay. She’s not the biggest, but she jumps well and Paddy [Barlow, who is booked for the filly’s debut] has ridden and schooled her at home.
“She’s been bought to be sold, but if she doesn’t do it first time out it doesn’t matter.”
Bevin is a former point-to-point rider who struggled with weight issues, but rode 18 winners plus one in a hunters’ chase. He says: “I won’t be remembered for my point-to-point career. Weight got the better of me, and Covid finished me off. I rode in the December of that season, but when racing was halted in March I realised it was time to finish.”
Peter Wright, who was chief executive of the Point-to-Point Authority until handing over to Paul Miller at the conclusion of the 2023/24 season, is heading north from his home near Swindon to see his Helm Bar run in the race. The Robin Tate-trained five-year-old made a promising start when finishing fourth at Alnwick in December.
Wright said: “He’s strengthened up a bit since that run, and we entered him for Charm Park hoping to meet some decent opposition to see where we are. He was very naive at Alnwick, and while he did little wrong, when they quickened he didn’t understand what he had to do. It was a juvenile run, but that’s fine.
“He’s a fun horse, and while we’d be stupid to say we would never sell him if a serious offer was made, we’re realists.”

Yorkshire’s Jack Teal has entered a pair of unraced five-year-olds, namely Talktotherocks, a son of Yeats bought by his trainer for £7,000 at Goffs’ Spring Sale in 2024, and the Crystal Ocean-sired G N Jefferson, a €6,000 purchase at Goffs’ Arkle Sale in the same year.
Other possible runners from outside the White Rose County include I’ve Got A Friend, a son of Somerset-based stallion Idaho. Five-year-old I’ve Got A Friend is set to be ridden by Sean O’Connor, while Tom Scudamore could run the four-year-old Maxios gelding Whatsupoxo from his Herefordshire yard.
*Winners of a GB Pointing young-horse maiden race land one of the two bonuses if subsequently successful in any of the following:
