The Welsh Point to Point season as always ends in Trecoed for the Pembrokeshire Hunt, and with 80 entries coming from far and wide, and Welsh Championships to be won, it looks like Saturday could be an exciting season finale, writes Maria Evans.

The current going is good, and the recent rainfall is sure to keep the ground decent.

The first race off at 2pm is the Hunt Race where are 5 entered, and both Marc Barber and Wyn Morris have two each. Hunky Dorey and Teenage Kicks make up the Wyn Morris duo, and the latter will be hoping to retain the trophy of this race with regular pilot Steph Rogers, after pulling up last time out at the Banwen. Hunky Dorey has had a consistent season, and deserves some success soon. Marc Barbers Brideberry was a winner last time out, and should go well here. Barbers other entry, Anto Massini, looks to be an Irish recruit who is yet to run. Market Maker makes up the five, and has met a few better than him so far this season.

In the Mens Open Rosies Peacock and John Mathias will be hoping to go one better than Cock of the Rock in the Leading Point to Point horse of the season – for 24 hours at least anyway, with Cock of the Rock likely to run in the Mens Open at Bratton Down on Sunday.  Neither will have an easy job to get another win under their belt though. There are 14 entered in the Mens Open at Trecoed, including the Dunraven Bowl winner Desertmore View, who was last seen unseating jockey John Mathias in a Hunterchase at Fontwell. Trainer Marc Barber also has the consistent Kimora entered, but the main danger may come from the Mickey Bowen trained Sir Du Bearn, who came home in front of Rosies Peacock last time out in a Point to Point, at Lower Machen. He is also entered in the Ladies Open, and may well run here under Jodie Hughes, who partnered the nine year old at Stratford last Friday.

The Ladies Open looks just as competitive as the Mens Open, with 18 entered – a handful of which have already won an Open this season. Watch the Birdie is an obvious pick of the crop, and a cut on her leg after winning at Lydstep last time out must have heeled in time for an entry here. Cygnet and Jodie Hughes have become quite a pair in Hunterchases having won two in two weeks last month, and if stable mate Sir Du Bearn is preferred for the Mens Open, we may see Cygnet do well here. Tallow Fair and Carnglave Cat were both winners last time out for Tim Underwood, and  they’ll be hoping the long trip West will be worth it for them.

15 are entered in the Intermediate, and Captain Camelot, who won his maiden easily last time out at Lydstep, looks the main danger here.  Leading trainer Jack Barber has Mangans Turn entered, and is Barbers only entry for the meeting. He’s run a handful of times this season, only passing the winning post in the lead once. Redbridge Rebel was a close second last time out, losing out to Good Grammar and Nick Williams in the dying strides at Lydstep. That run was an improvement to his runs from the rest of the season, and if there’s more to come, he should go well.

The Intermediate has attracted 10 entries, where another Tim Underwood trained horse, Commanche Conflict, looks like it could go well here. Mister Bricolage has given connections some great days this season, and should run a good race once again here. Milled has knocked on the door a couple of times this season, and the Marc Barber duo A Country Mile and Star Rise, on their day, could run big races.

The Open Maiden sees 18 entries, and it looks to be wide open. Princess Tina, who last time out looked a likely winner, until headed in the dying strides, looks like she should go well again, and the same goes for Rathkenny Lady, who was in the same race that day, and lost second place in the dying strides of the race. Both are rated the same, and there isn’t much to split them, so I could be an exciting finale again. Overtoyoujay and To Hell And Back are two Marc Barber trained horses who could lose their maiden tag at the end of the season, and Joshella has been there and there abouts since joining the Amber Griffiths yard in April.

As always, the meeting will be followed by an end of season party on the course, where everyone is more than welcome. It includes live music, a bar and food will be available. The party is a regular event which is always popular with participants and racegoers.
