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.

Preview
BOOMBOX had been sent off as the favourite for her debut at Turtulla last month. She only managed to get to the first fence on that occasion, but she again could be the one to follow as she goes in search of compensation. The locally trained Lola De Magny finished her race strongly to be only beaten by just over two lengths at Knockmullen House, whilst Fine Thing and Krystal View both have placed finishes to their names.

Preview
GETASECONDCHANCE set a strong gallop when making his debut at Curraghmore in October, and whilst he was dropping back when falling at the last, he had shown plenty of promise prior to his unfortunate departure. He will be expected to play a leading role in this. Barbar Esko was not beaten too far in Umma House and is a danger, whilst a number of the leading yards in the division could saddle newcomers that would have to be respected.

This has a very open look to it, so it may be worth taking a chance on LE BOUM RETOURNE despite the potential quick return to action for him. He came from off the pace to finish fourth at Borris House last Sunday, on what was his first start since early March. Mercs And Perks was still in contention when exiting late on at Boulta recently, and would have to have leading claims in a race like this, alongside the 102-rated Pearl Of Grange, who finished third at Rathcannon on his stable debut.

Preview
POINTE A PITRE was unable to back-up her promising stable debut at Knockmullen House when a beaten favourite at Moig South last month, but she is worth a second chance in this. Shake The Bag has finished placed in each of her last two starts and is the obvious threat, ahead of The Orphan Girl, who was sent off as the favourite in Damma House last time.

Pat Doyle would look to hold the key to this as his LIFETIME AMBITION impressed when winning his sixth open lightweight in good style at Turtulla last month, and he was successful at this venue back in 2023. Stablemate Hunters Yarn had no trouble with the step up in trip when winning easily at Moig South on his debut in this division, and whichever of the pair that Doyle runs in this will be hard to oppose. Toomebridge winner City Chief and the talented mare The Great Unknown are the pick of the dangers to the Suirview Stables duo.

KENZO DES BRUYERES goes in search of a hat-trick here following consecutive wide-margin successes at Umma House and Knockmullen House, and he sets the standard for this. The similarly hat-trick chasing Hearts And Spades had the measure of the potentially reopposing Revolut Ned at Boulta last time, whilst Muskerry Rock is another for the shortlist.
