Point-to-Point: Rain hits Essex Farmers

The Vale of Clettwr and the Essex Farmers & Union fixtures were abandoned yesterday, leaving the United Services at Larkhill as today's only meeting, writes Mick Connaughton. The Vale Of Clettwr has been rearranged for next Saturday, while the Essex Farmers will apply for a new date. Gunner Welburn, the winner of last year's Fox Hunters' Chase at Aintree and a Grand National entry this year, should be spot on for today's hunter chase (4.15) at Haydock.
