Track Biography:

The Galway Blazers have a long history of holding a point-to-point dating back over a hundred years. The hunt dates from the beginning of the 19th century and has established itself as one of the famous Irish Hunts due to the goodwill and generosity of farmers and landowners throughout the county.

We run two meetings a year at Dartfield just outside Loughrea with the first one taking place in October and the second fixture being held in April. The course is situated at Dartfield Horse Museum and heritage centre which is set on 350 acres of parkland just forty minutes from Galway city.

Over the years, Loughrea point-to-point has produced many top national hunt stars such as Bewleys Berry, Boys Hurrah, Brindisi Breeze, Never Compromise and King Johns Castle.

ANNABELLE PARK would look to be the clear standout on previous form for this after a promising start in a very competitive maiden at Monksgrange in March. The two horses who finished in front of her on that occasion were sold for a combined 360,000stg afterwards, and she can frank that form here for a stable that has been among the winners on three of the last four weekends. Ladies Luck came from off the pace to finish fourth at Fairyhouse and can step forward, whilst Miss Valdex will need to bounce back from her latest effort.

There is not a huge amount of previous placed form to go on for this, so it may be worth siding with the Stowlin penultimate fence faller DOWHATYOURTOLD. He was the only horse to put it up to the impressive winner in the home straight, and whilst he was firmly held in second at the time, it was still a promising effort nonetheless. The final-fence claimed Desert Boy on his debut at Ballysteen when holding placed prospects, whilst Ballylusk and Tipu Sultan are others with previous experience to draw upon.

SHAH could be turned out quickly after returning from a 12-month absence just seven days ago. The Walzertakt gelding, who had made his debut as a four-year-old on this card 12 months ago, was well backed ahead of his Bartlemy return last week, where he ran a creditable effort in defeat to finish second. Ol Parson took a big step forward when encountering drier ground conditions for the first time at Lisronagh last month, and he could be a player in this given the conditions, whilst Lemonday finished fourth at Dromahane, and could be one to step forward.

LITTLE TESSA BEAR made the frame at Tattersalls on her debut last month, and she could be the one to step forward and take this. Hillview Lass has bounced back to form since changing stables mid-season, and she finished a close second in the same Ballindenisk maiden that the potentially re-opposing Leading Rose and A Quick Call also contested. The latter having slipped up whilst still in contention.

WONDERWALL could return to the scene of his first open success from October 2024, having achieved plenty in the interim, including big-race successes at both the Cheltenham and Punchestown Festivals in the last year and a half. The latest of them was a hard-fought victory in the Champion Hunter Chase, which would certainly leave him as the one to beat. His stablemate, The Great Unknown and Hearts And Spades are contending for champion point-to-point horse honours, whilst Yewtree Hill and Galon De Vauzelle are others with place claims.

Sam Curling is not short of ammunition for this with five possible contenders, and a case can be made for each of that quintet, who all finished placed last time, with DEPALMA possibly the one to side with following his close second at Dawstown earlier in the month. Stablemate, Time In A Bottle, would have finished closer in Bartlemy but for a final-fence blunder, whilst the hat-trick seeking Pros And Cons and Bob The Builder could be the pick of the non-Curling runners in the line-up.
