Track Biography:

Rathcannon point-to-point has played host to many Hunts over the years and more recently to the Limerick Foxhounds & the Limerick Foxhounds Bruff point-to-point committee.

Many talented riders and horses have graduated from the Limerick Foxhounds point-to-point both when racing on the past venues and presently at Rathcannon.

The track itself is a left-handed course and has been in operation since 2008.

Our race meeting is situated just 40 minutes from Limerick city and just half an hour from the scenic town of Adare, making a trip to Rathcannon point-to-point part of a perfect Family Sunday.

THE JOB IS RIGHT looks the obvious choice here with two solid runs under his belt. The danger here is Letbeso who has been placed twice from two runs and should be suited by conditions. Moenchengladbach and Treacys Star both have bumper form worth noting.

Preview

KITTS DELIGHT is a smart sort on her day and has some above average track form. Although her latest runs were a little disappointing this could be exactly what she needs and the fact that she has run in August must be rated as a huge positive also in her favour. Perazzi showed her ability when second last time and looks a very real danger. Tell Me Lucy has shown some promise last season and could pose a threat.

Preview

KEEP ON TRACK is locally trained and finished fourth in an August Roscommon hurdle so comes here in top form. Abbey Storm is going in the right direction and Monbeg met a decent sort at Sligo so can be expected to feature also. In what looks a very competitive race stable companions Atlantic Ocean and Whispering River cannot be ruled out either nor can the Michael Hourigan trained Debt To Society who is returning to points following a spell under rules.

Former stable companion Tyrone Golden Rain is a course winner capable of providing stiff resistance. Rheinland returning from an absence is an interesting entry here also.

EM BUCC EIGHTY SIX narrowly missed out at the end of last season at Kinsale and may be able to gain compensation at the first time of asking here. Intentandpurposes is an interesting option on his best form to take note of. Clear Blue Sky has consistent form and can again be involved while Zelkova Island once won a maiden before being disqualified so on his best has claims.
