Track Biography:
The records show The Fermanagh Harriers Point to Point Steeplechases began an annual fixture as far back as 1905, when the races were held at Dunbar outside Enniskillen. This is the location of our annual Boxing Day Hunt today!
Over the years the venue has changed once or twice but it has been held at the current location, Necarne Castle, since 1999.
Necarne Castle is located adjacent to the town of Irvinestown and it is with the kind permission of Fermanagh and Omagh District Council thet we have been able to avail of this excellent venue.
Traditionally our Two-day meeting takes place Early-Mid May, which normally leads to some added excitement as various riders are usually vieing for the jockeys championship at this closing stage of the season.
Course preparation and the running of the point to point is all done on a voluntary basis by the members of the Hunt

MON MISSEL brings the strongest piece of form into this as the French-bred finished best of the rest behind an impressive winner at Tyrella in March. That experience will stand to him here. Those other horses with previous form will likely need to step forward on what they have produced so far, which will bring the newcomers into the reckoning. Of them, Crystal Outlaw and Weafers Cross represent Denis Murphy, whose horses have been flying of late, with the stable responsible for seven winners across the past two weekends of action, which is worth noting.

Harley Dunne has enjoyed four-year-old success around here in the past with the subsequent Listed Bumper placed Springt De La Mare, and his Set The Clock will be of interest in this after he finished an encouraging fifth at Dromahane a fortnight on his debut. Walkwithmyfriend likely ran to a similar level when fourth at Ballyknock, however, it is CERTAIN ESCAPE that catches the eye. He had just taken a share of the lead when falling three-out at Monksgrange, a track renowned for producing particularly strong races.

David Christie would look to have a strong hand for this courtesy of FORTUNE LAD and West Of Idaho. The former dominated a three-runner race at Loughanmore last month and could push his career tally to four wins here. The less experienced Dunaird was only beaten by a length on his first start against fellow winners, whilst Colvin was running a big race when unseating at the last in Down Royal on Monday.

Preview
There were great scenes of celebration after this race 12 months ago when WINGED LEADER equalled a 59-year-old record, and having since created his own piece of history earlier in the season, the record-breaking 12-year-old could bring his tally of point-to-point wins to 38 in this. Hearts And Spades got within a neck of him at Portrush in March, whilst The Great Unknown currently leads the champion point-to-point horse standings on seven winners. Macs Charm and Beau Walking are others with place claims.

Preview
EVEREST THE BRAVE had moved into a share of the lead when falling at the final fence in Cragmore back in January, and with three subsequent maiden winners emerging from that it could be hard to oppose him on stable debut. Clonmeen Cross is the most likely threat as he was running a big race on debut when exiting two-out in Nenagh, whilst Tom Told Me So, could be best of the rest after finishing second in Toomebridge last weekend.

Preview
This does not look like an easy race to solve, but it might be worth taking a chance on BALLYKELLY here, who has finished placed in two of his last three starts. Cooleagh typically come into form at this time of the year and is back from a mid-season break, whilst Josies Dylan could be a big player on his Ballycrystal effort, but has been inconsistent.
