TO The Top, trained by Alan Hill at Aston Rowant, goes for a second successive victory in the men's open at the Vale of Aylesbury with Garth and South Berks Hunt meeting at Kimble, near Aylesbury, tomorrow.

His rivals could include Irilut, trained by Robert Waley-Cohen at Edge Hill, near Banbury, and Royal Tir, a former prolific winner in France.

Tanager, a previous winner of this contest for Great Missenden handler Karen Lawther, is also in the line-up.

Hill also has good chances with hat-trick scorer Bon Accord in the confined and Bell Rock in the ladies' open, while Bering Gifts or Mr Snowman could represent him in the members.

First race is 1.30pm.
