Local Celebrity has won a bumper and over hurdles but hasn't made much of an impact on the point-to-point circuit over the last few months and blinkers are applied back under Rules. High Kite would have only finished second at Southwell had Brother Scott not fallen at the last. But the handicapper has taken pity by leaving him on the same mark so a follow-up isn't out of the question. DRUMLISTER hasn't won over fences since 2012 but has the ground in his favour this afternoon and ran his best race for a while when second at Wetherby. He looks the one to beat, though The Society Man races off the same mark as when second over a shorter trip here last month.
