Track Biography:

The Wexford foxhounds was formed in 1810 at Slevoy castle.

Our point-to-point has been in different locations over the years including Wexford racecourse, Gowran Park and Lingstown before being moved to its current location at Moorefields in November 2011. We run two meetings a year, one in the autumn at Knockmullen House, with our spring fixture taking place in Ballinaboola on the first weekend in February.

Set in the heart of Co. Wexford the course is left handed with a circuit of one mile and three fences in the home straight providing many exciting close finishes.

It is a very fair track of two long straights with two gentle left-handed bends, there are five fences on each circuit which measures a mile a lap.

The track has produced many top class individuals including the likes of Envoi Allen who made a winning debut in the four-year-old maiden in 2018 before progressing to become a multiple Grade 1 winner. That 2018 renewal also saw Appreciate It finish third, and he has also gone on to become a multiple Grade 1 winner in his own right for Willie Mullins.

Preview

Colin Bowe has already trained three four-year-old maiden winners this season, the latest of which came at Tinahely last Sunday, and his DUC DALLIER catches the eye in this. The Lauro gelding raced a shade keenly on his debut at Portrush last month, and if learning from that introduction, he can be expected to go close. There are a large number of newcomers entered here representing powerful connections, and the Gigginstown House Stud-owned, Desir Du Large, catches the eye, as he cost 68,000 pounds at Doncaster and is well-related.

WELL TOM has been a busy campaigner over the course of the opening month of the season, running twice on the one weekend last month, and in one of those outings at Lisronagh, where he was only narrowly beaten, he had the measure of the potentially re-opposing Seedorf. Oscar nomination has twice hit the crossbar, whilst Turlough and Ballinasilla have both shown early promise to date and are others to consider.

Preview

It is very tough to look past the well-related AGENT MEMPHIS in this after she chased home a very smart looking mare in Castafiore Park on her debut at Tinahely last month. She is the clear form selection and it will take a big performance to get in front of her on that evidence. Gold Runner is a more experienced horse, but she has run with credit this season and could be the main danger alongside Lillymae who enters the race in peak fitness having run last Sunday.

DE NAME EVADES ME was not helped by a mistake at the second-last at a crucial point on his seasonal reappearance at Dowth Hall a fortnight ago. Despite that, he was only beaten by a neck and may be better suited by this track which will allow him to double his career tally. Star Wizzard is another Dowth Hall winner, and he can make the step-up from maiden company, whilst Aztec Chief, Talkoftheparish, Rattle The Cage and Johnny Sue are all capable of making an impact here.

A standout open lightweight which is packed full of depth. LAC FONTANA is having his first start over fences here, but is a former Grade 1 winner having also won the 2014 County Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival. If he takes to this, he could be a high quality recruit. Sydney Paget has never finished outside of the first two in ten starts between the flags and is a previous course winner from January 2016 who will go close, alongside, Dantes King, an impressive winner at Tinahely last Sunday, B L Swagger, who rarely runs a bad race, whilst Eddies Miracle and Boruing Up A Storm are others to have won around here in the past.

Preview

On recent form, this race would appear to revolve around TROLL DOUDAIRIES and Hawk Eye Down, with the slight preference given to the former who was unlucky to miss out on success at Kilworth in March when parting company with his rider at the final fence whilst holding every chance. Of the remainder, the 11-year-old, Mista Wabbit Man, has his first start between the flags, but has finished in the money on three occasion on the track and that entitles him to claims in this.
