JOSH Newman and Bradley Gibbs both recorded doubles as the 2016/2017 British point-to-point campaign commenced last Sunday with the Bishops Court Racing Club meeting near Ottery St Mary in Devon.

Newman’s winners were supplied by Kayley Woollacott, the pair having the perfect start to the season when pointing newcomer The Kings Writ justified favouritism in the opening four, five and six-year-old maiden over two and a half miles.
