Track Biography:
Most commonly know now as the home of Irish Jump Racing Punchestowns history begins with Kildare Hunt Club.
One of the oldest in the country, the history of the Kildare Hunt Club goes back as far as the 18th century with the first Master being Squire Connolly of Castletown.
The Hunt Club would host races in various locations around the county but in the 1840’s during the master ship of John La Touche the members of Kildare Hunt Club decided to buy the lands at Punchestown.
Those lands are still held by the trustees of Kildare Hunt Club and continue to be used as the location for the point-to-point.

Colin Bowe has won the last three editions of this race, including with the recent Clonmel maiden hurdle winner Undeniable Alibi 12 months ago, and the champion handler is well represented again this year with five possible runners. However, in recent weeks, Derek OConnor has been the handler to follow in this age division, courtesy of two winners last weekend, and his BALDWIN THE BRAVE held place claims when falling at the last in a race won by stablemate Thats Nice.

Preview
GOOD CODY chased home the recent novice hurdle winner Rossbridge when second at Ballycrystal in the autumn, and with that form line having received a timely form boost, he could be the one to follow for a stable that has turned a corner in recent weeks. Millforce represents a similarly in-form stable that were among the winners in this category at Nenagh last Sunday, and this son of Workforce chased home a subsequent sales topper when he was last seen at Turtulla, whilst, Coolberrin Hill and Devilsinthedetail add further depth to the race.

Preview
On paper, this would look to be the strongest-looking edition of this race for some time, headlined by DE NORDENER. In spite of a busy recent campaign he gained his second success in open company this season at Knockanard last Sunday. That was in a marathon banks race, so providing it has not left its mark he sets the standard. The Blind Piper has changed ownership since falling in a hunter chase at Limerick just over a year ago, but prior to that had won twice on the bounce by a combined 84 lengths. Of the others, Memories Never Die and Brown Monday both have placed track form and warrant respect.

DE NORDENER has an alternative option elsewhere on the card, but if taking up this engagement instead he would be the horse to beat following a busy recent spell which has seen him win three of his four starts in recent weeks. The 125-rated hurdler Au Fleuron is a new addition to the David Christie yard, which is always worth noting, whilst John The Spark was a decisive winner at Oldtown last week. He can get in the shake-up on his first start in open company.

Preview
This has an open look to it, but it could be worth siding with GET OF YOUR PHONE. She made a pleasing return to action when second at Dungarvan recently, and encouragingly, two of the four horses that finished unplaced behind her have since come out and placed since, including the potentially reopposing Vroomoz Eile. Eyes Off Annie is returning from a lengthy absence but showed ability prior to her lay-off, with a similar comment applying to Peggys Cross.

TOTTENHAM GREEN was never able to land a blow at Tyrella on his return, with the winner slipping the field from an early point, but he has strong form in the book from last season, including when chasing home the recent Naas maiden hurdle winner Cleatus Poolaw at Fairyhouse. He is worth a second chance here. Josies Dylan went close on stable debut at Oldtown last week and is a danger alongside Walk Easy.
