A HUNTSMAN from Ludlow is taking to the saddle at one of the best-known racecourses in the country.

Ludlow hunt whipper-in Tristram More Molyneux is among seven hunt supporters who will be taking part in the fourth annual Race for Repeal at Ascot.

The fourth annual Ascot Countryside Race Day takes place on Sunday, April 7, and the Race for Repeal is first on the card.

Each rider is representing a hunt and raising money for the Countryside Alliance.
