Mike and Jill Dawson's horse, Blarney Highwayman, could be one to watch. It finished third at the South Wold meeting earlier this month.
Blarney Highwayman is trained at Grainthorpe by Jill Dawson and is expected to line up in the Men's Open at Brocklesby.
A local rider to watch out for is Tom Strawson, whose horses are trained at Ulceby.
Strawson rode his first winner at the Brocklesby Point-to-Point last year, when Regal Reign won the Member's race.
This time around he may ride Reach For The Top in the Men's Open race. It is a new horse to the Strawson stable, but gave Tom a winner at the first time of asking when taking the Novice Rider's race at South Wold.
Admission is £10 per person with under-16's free. First race is at 12.30pm.
