Track Biography:
The firsts set of National Hunt Committee rules were published in 1889 and Kilkenny Hunt with its long illustrious history of holding point-to-point meets can trace its first meeting back to then. Point-to-point meetings were held under the master ship of Ikey Bell at Lacken, near Bonnettstown in 1909 and from 1914 meetings were at Bishopslough.
Thereafter meetings continued to circulate around the country, 1926 in Ballyfacey, 1927 Rahelty, 1948 Stonecarthy, 1949-1959 Wollengrange, Gowran 1960-1989. From there the point-to-point moved to Brambelstown and Kilbline and then to its current location in Grennan, Thomastown.
We hold two meetings during the season, one in November and one in May. Our tracks over the years have seen many winners go on to establish themselves amongst the elite of the racing world, dual Welsh National winner Mountainous and Tranquil Sea to name but a few.

Preview
DR WALUIGI is an interesting option here having run well in two bumpers and if he takes to jumping could provide the answer. Native Gamut is a big threat however as he comes from the in form Doyle yard and was a very promising second at Ballingarry towards the end of last season. Champagne Express and Ballywilliam are others to note for possible improvement.

Preview
SUBTITLE saw off Knowhentofoldem when the pair met at Castletown so gains a very narrow vote here. Stand Sure missed out by a neck last Sunday at Rathcannon so must again be expected to go close here. Red Sunset is very unexposed having won his maiden late last season but comes from an in form yard and could be the one with most room for improvement and cannot be ruled out.

SPARKALARK was second at Tinahely earlier this month and showed a return to some of his best form so he is expected to go on and win here. Reigns Of Glory is a sharp sort who was second last time and could go close also. Oberon Rule has a fair degree of ability based on his track form and if he can transfer it to obstacles is worth noting. Alistair, Shining Steed and Cango can all be considered strong each way options.

OSCAR BARTON saw off Vital Plot last time so that form now seems to be too strong for his rivals here. The main danger must be The Hollinwell who normally needs a run to get to his best and ran nicely at Tinahely last time so expect a stronger force here. The remainder are a strong bunch including Boxer Georg, Star Of Angels and Dantes King who can all run well.

COLGRAVE SOUND has been placed on his last two outings so should be able to open his account here as that form stands out. Liverpool Lad is an obvious danger as he was second on debut at Fairyhouse and has not completed since. A clear round could see him go very close. Laurel Park has to overcome a very long absence but was fourth in a Punchestown bumper on only outing so could be worth watching.
