Taking place when the 2025/26 point-to-point season opens at Lower Machen in South Wales, the race has attracted an entry from Somerset’s champion trainer Josh Newman and two from the Warwickshire stable of Fran and Charlie Poste, no strangers to buying unbroken three-year-old stores, racing them the following season in point-to-points and then reoffering them for sale.
Licensed trainers Tim Vaughan and Tom Lacey have made one entry each for horses they own and which are therefore eligible to run in the amateur sport, while well-known rider Tommie O’Brien is set to make his training debut by running Levant Lady.
Welshman Bradley Gibbs, who trains from stables in Hertfordshire, plans running – and riding – newcomer No Case To Answer, a five-year-old son of Jukebox Jury owned by Beverley Thomas. Gibbs says: “We hoped to run him last season, but he picked up a little cut which held us up, and when we had him right again the ground had become too quick, so we turned him out for the summer.
“He’s a nice big horse who has schooled well.
“Dad [Dai] went to the course last Sunday and said the going was good and we’ve had a nice bit of rain since then. It should be an ideal start for our horse.”
Gibbs admits he thought his race riding days might be over in midsummer, when he came back from holiday and put pressure on the bathroom scales, but he says: “I’m lighter than ever now. It’s just by working in the yard and riding plenty of horses that I’ve got my weight down.”
Four-time men’s champion rider James King is jocked up for a couple of possible mounts on horses trained by Luke Price in South Wales and Luca Morgan who is based in Warwickshire. King says: “In the young-horse maiden I expect to ride Luca Morgan’s horse Baron Du Brizais. His training has been pleasing and I’ve done a lot of schooling on him. I rode him in a schooling race at Ffos Las and in a few other gallops and he seems nice. Luca and Paige [Topley, the trainer’s partner] have a few sales horses and this one should be a good yardstick.
“Luke’s horse, Sailor McKay, is likely to run in the three-mile maiden race later on the card.”
New this season the 15-race series aims to shine a light on the type of talented young horses which British point-to-pointing has been increasingly producing in recent years. It has been developed in conjunction with the British Horseracing Authority (BHA) and funded by the Horserace Betting Levy Board (HBLB). Each British-bred winner in the series becomes eligible for a £25,000 bonus if they go on to win designated hurdles or chases run under rules within two calendar years, or £15,000 if they were bred outside of Britain.
The bonuses aim to highlight young British point-to-pointers and generate interest in them when they are offered for sale. Auctioneers Tattersalls Cheltenham and Goffs UK have backed the idea by sponsoring 14 races between them, although the prize money for Sunday’s race is being provided by the Point-to-Point Authority (PPA).
Tiggy Vale-Titterton, the PPA’s partnerships and marketing manager, says: “We’re delighted with the entry for Sunday’s first GB Pointing Bonus young-horse maiden race. There is a very good spread of stables, and that is a key point of the series in that it helps to promote young British point-to-pointers from around the country handled by trainers with yards of all sizes.”
Winners of a GB Pointing Bonus young-horse maiden race land one of the two bonuses if subsequently successful in any of the following:
