Track Biography:

The point-to-point track at Ballycrystal is held on the lands of point-to-point handler Matthew Flynn O'Connor in Kiltealy.

The first meeting took place in January 2020 under the auspices of the Ballinagore Hunt Club, the Island Foxhounds have also used this track for their Autumn fixture.

The course itself is a left handed track and the runners will go downhill for a furlong and a half before it levels out. There is a gentle rise to the line.

In all it is a mile around on each circuit with fives fences. Three of the fences are jumped in the home straight, and all of them come before the winning post. There is another fence at top of the course and the fifth fence is in the back straight.

NT FIELD MINNESOTA has bypassed a couple of recent engagements but this could be a nice local opportunity for her She was unable to back to up her very promising Loughanmore debut when re-appearing two weeks later at Lisronagh, but a reproduction of that initial effort would leave her as the one to beat. Weir Lane offered encouragement before coming down at the last in Tattersalls when make her debut, whilst Caught A Vibe comes here fresh from a break and did show improvement between her opening two autumn efforts.

BEAT THE POLI is on home turf here and he was only beaten six lengths at Corbeagh House last month in a bunched finish. That would look to see him setting the standard for this ahead of Flash Du Pistolet who does also come here fresh from a career best when third to Boston Town at Tinahely in November. The newcomers come from a number of respected yards and are worthy of a market check.

GARCON DARGENT and Old Style Humor could pick up where they left off at Tinahely recently when just a length separated the pair in a novice riders winners event. The former got the verdict on that occasion and is taken to confirm that form in search of a hat-trick. Happy Victory won his maiden on that same Tinahely card and should play a big part in this on that evidence, as too should fellow last time out winner Indian Louis and Gray Rock.

INCHIQUIN SPIRIT was just over four lengths behind the ill-fated subsequent track winner Thermusa when finishing third at Dawstown last May when she had two subsequent maiden winners immediately behind her. Although she was unable to take a notable step forward from it in Ballingarry, the Dawstown form reads well and she should have improved following a summers break. Miss Drussell is the obvious danger although she to come back from a disappointing run at Tattersalls, with her stable mate Smell The Roses potentially next best.

SERGEANT MOSS is also entered in the confined maiden at the end of the card but he would also look to be the one to beat in this after chasing home Old Style Humor around here in October. His stable companion Buachaill Galanta does add further strength to the Denis Murphy team in this one, whilst The Mass Path, Turnthelightsoff and Ahaknowyetself are others who have shown in the past that they can get involved but they do need to bounce back from their latest efforts.

Denis Murphy won the only previous running of this race back in 2020 and he looks to have a strong hand once again courtesy of SERGEANT MOSS and Flash Du Pistolet. The pair do hold alternative engagements earlier on the card, but this would look to be an easier option. The former is proven around here having posted a career best at this venue in October when chasing home Old Style Humor. A repeat of that could give him the edge. Money From America only made his debut last Sunday in testing conditions but would be factor if turning out again quickly.
