Track Biography:


The records show The Fermanagh Harriers Point to Point Steeplechases began an annual fixture as far back as 1905, when the races were held at Dunbar outside Enniskillen. This is the location of our annual Boxing Day Hunt today!

Over the years the venue has changed once or twice but it has been held at the current location, Necarne Castle, since 1999.

Necarne Castle is located adjacent to the town of Irvinestown and it is with the kind permission of Fermanagh and Omagh District Council thet we have been able to avail of this excellent venue.

Traditionally our Two-day meeting takes place Early-Mid May, which normally leads to some added excitement as various riders are usually vieing for the jockeys championship at this closing stage of the season.

Course preparation and the running of the point to point is all done on a voluntary basis by the members of the Hunt

Preview

SUPER FOLLO stayed on strongly in the closing stages at Athlacca last Saturday to chase home the impressive Lough Derg Spirit, and providing he copes with the quick turnaround, he may be the one to side with here. Some Response ran well at Largy before falling, whilst The Great Getaway, Manitowoc County, Drovers Castle and Court Of Milan have all finished placed on debut and are more than capable of playing a leading role.

MAPLE MONS should have little difficulty accounting for her two rivals here as she has been producing far superior efforts of late and was in the winners enclosure as recently as last Sunday at Grennan. Notnowlove and Folduf can fight out the placings between them.

Preview

It may be worth taking a chance on CHAMPIONE as he had hit the front when making a very bad mistake three-out at Tyrella on his debut between the flags, and as that effort cost him his opportunity, he should step-up on that fourth placed effort. There may not be a lot separating Delkantra, Is This It and Classic Hit, who would look quite evenly matched.

Preview

ANSEANACHAI CLISTE has the measure of Valmy Baie on their meeting at Largy last month and this seasons winning-most Point-to-Pointer is a worthy selection for this. Need To Know was a winner at Athlacca seven days ago but holds an easier alternative entry on Fridays card, whilst Howwouldukno ran well at Broughshane last week and could be a contender once again if jumping off.

Preview

KINNACALLY lost little in defeat when coming up against a serious performer for the grade in Mystic Theatre at Largy and she should record her third success of the season here. The Sophster has finished behind the selection on her last two starts and so has some work to do, whilst Miss Coley is dropping back from Hunter Chase company and will likely be more at home in this grade.

ARCAL FIFTY left his previous form behind him when chasing home Johnnyonepunch at Athlacca last Saturday, and providing he can maintain that level, he could be the one to side with here in an open contest. Sarsfields Legend had an off day at Loughanmore over Easter, however he is typically a consistent sort with four placed efforts between the flags to his name, whilst The Brandy Man and Novo Dawn are others to consider.
