Track Biography:

The point-to-point track at Ballycrystal is held on the lands of point-to-point handler Matthew Flynn O'Connor in Kiltealy.

The first meeting took place in January 2020 under the auspices of the Ballinagore Hunt Club, the Island Foxhounds have also used this track for their Autumn fixture.

The course itself is a left handed track and the runners will go downhill for a furlong and a half before it levels out. There is a gentle rise to the line.

In all it is a mile around on each circuit with fives fences. Three of the fences are jumped in the home straight, and all of them come before the winning post. There is another fence at top of the course and the fifth fence is in the back straight.

Preview

Aidan Fitzgerald has had four horses finish second since saddling his latest winner, and TRUSTFALL could end that wait for another success on what would be her first start since last March. She was only beaten a length and a half in Ballyragget on that occasion, with two of the three horses that finished in front of her already going on to win bumpers. Liberte Des Obeaux could be turned out quickly after her debut third in Ballindenisk last Saturday, whilst Whiskey Serenade did show some promise around here when placed on debut.

ESCORTKHEOPS is the sole entry for Antrim handler Cormac Abernethy on this card, and the Masterstroke gelding could make it a worthwhile trip if stepping forward from two consecutive fourth-placed finishes at Tattersalls and Kirkistown in the autumn. Poet Laureate also filled the fourth spot on his latest outing which came around here last month, whilst the Colin Bowe-pair of Diamond Flush and Khafre also made the frame last time.

BOB THE BUILDER has been in great form this season, winning twice at Tinahely, including just last Saturday. He still looks a progressive individual and if coping with the quick turnaround, he could swiftly add to his tally. Beaus Candle did not finish out of the first two in five starts between the flags last season, and he could get involved on his first outing for new connections, whilst the long-absent Theatrical Getaway will be for a hat-trick on his return.

Donnchadh Doyle won this race last year with Millie Supreme, and Late Night Drama will bid to give the local stable back-to-back victories in this particular contest. She was only beaten by three lengths around here last month and is better than the effort that she produced at Tinahely last weekend. Her stablemate MOUTHSHUTEYESOPEN cost E50,000, and like last years winner, she would be making her debut in this contest. Of the others, Getawayback is entitled to improve from her first start in 11 months, and she had posted a respectable effort in a four-year-old maiden at Dromahane at the start of her career.

Revolut Ned would certainly not be winning out of turn if he was to cross the line in front in this, having made the frame in each of his last three starts, including when second at both Rathcannon and Tinahely in the autumn. Jasmin Des Blins had run well around here last month when returning from an absence, but he did fade quite tamely in Aghabullogue last Sunday which would be a concern, and so it may be the long-awaited debut of OCCUPATIONAL FORCE that is worth following. Bought for E180,000, he is a brother of the talented Lingstown winner Barry The Butcher.

Donnchadh Doyle and Denis Murphy have, between them, won all three previous editions of this race, and they are responsible for most of the protagonists. POET LAUREATE was only beaten by just over seven lengths around here in December and it would not be a surprise to see him step forward in a race like this. Empire Soldier should be more at home in this company after failing to complete at Lingstown, having placed in Tinahely earlier in the campaign, whilst Fiddleinthemiddle represents in-form connections.
