Track Biography:

The Route hunt have held point-to-point meetings at a number of venues since the 1930’s, before returning to their traditional picturesque venue of Portrush in 2016.

Previous track winners to have won at Portrush include one of the most talked about national hunt horses in training at the moment, Finian’s Oscar who won his four-year-old maiden at Portrush in October 2016 before selling for £250,000 at the Cheltenham sale the following month.

The charming Portrush is a holiday destination for many people, boosting the Famous Barry's amusements. Near the Giants Causeway, Dunluce Castle and Bushmills Distillery to name a few places of interest. The seaside town of Portrush is the ideal venue for an event of this nature as there is plenty of accommodation, so why not spend the weekend in the North of Ireland while taking in the point-to-point racing.

STENKA RAZIN finished within two lengths of a horse that was subsequently sold for E170,000 when a very promising third on his debut in Ballyknock earlier this year, and that would look to be the most notable piece of form coming into this. Coolmeen Briggs is related to the former Grand National winner Ballabriggs, and he also finished third on his debut when running at Nenagh last March, whilst Werweiss was sent off as the favourite for his debut in Toomebridge last week when falling four-out whilst in front.

WEST OF IDAHO would have gone very close at Toomebridge last weekend, but for slipping at the back of the final fence and coming a cropper. He could be turned out quickly in search of swift compensation here. Beans On Toast disappointed in that same contest last Saturday, but would have to be given claims if bouncing back to form, whilst Hello Fortune was placed in both of his two outings last season and is another for the shortlist.

PICTURE OF YOU has joined Sam Curling following a disappointing spell in England, and if she could recapture the form she previously produced when placed four times over hurdles for Henry de Bromhead, she could take advantage of a nice opportunity in this. Her stablemate Shake The Bag also has a good deal of hurdling experience, whilst Ersudaly disappointed last week, but if bouncing back she is the obvious threat.

WINGED LEADER equalled the modern record of point-to-point wins at Necarne with his 33rd victory in the sphere. He will bid to add to that around a track that he has a good record at, having never finished outside of the first two in six previous visits, including victory in the 2020 and 2024 renewals of this particular contest. The Goffer will ensure he does not have things all his own way, having finished third in the Topham Chase over the National fences at Aintree earlier in the year, whilst Panda Boy twice finished placed in the Paddy Power Chase and Leinster National to also bring him into the reckoning.

Stablemate Fortune Lad had a couple of subsequent winners behind him when opening his account for Mick Goff in the spring, and is of interest, whilst Weespoof and Yewtree Hill were both easy winners last weekend.

Preview

Rob James could give DINO MAGIC his stable debut in this, and the six-year-old could be an interesting acquisition, having only been denied by a neck on his handicap debut at Taunton in April. That was his fourth and final start for Paul Nicholls, and he could make an immediate impression in this sphere. Dunaird has the advantage of recent race fitness, having finished a good second on his debut at Toomebridge just last Saturday, whilst Vicomte Le Brave hit the crossbar on his final two outings last season and is other with leading claims.
