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

This seasons leading handler, Sam Curling, will look to add to his 17 winners in the current campaign with KIMAI. The daughter of Walk In The Park is the standout on previous form in this, having finished third in testing conditions at Lisronagh in February behind subsequent 320,000stg seller Clondaw Park. Doyenslastdance has more experience to call upon and she ran her best race to date at Dromahane over Christmas, whilst the luckless Tintara was a E45,000 store buy and represents a stable whose runners tend to go well here.

CATCHING JETS was not without his supporters when making his debut here last month, and he ran very respectably to chase home a horse that was subsequently bought for 185,000stg by Gordon Elliott. The Jet Away gelding will seek to advertise that form here. Matty Flynn OConnor could field the main opposition with Classic Dance and Modern Day Hero, the former having fallen at the final fence in Ballindenisk on his debut when running well. Of the others, Dark Til Daylight took a step forward at Borris House, whilst LAurige finished second despite jumping right at Tinahely in November.

This could be a nice opportunity for LORD DESART to quickly back up his Tinahely success from just a week ago. His stablemate Shake The Bag opened her account around here by a wide margin last month, whilst Jetbob won his maiden at Monksgrange last year for Donnchadh Doyle, and will be having his first outing since for Sean Doyle here.

THE ORPHAN GIRL has been sent off as the favourite for her last two outings, including when beaten 18 lengths by Shake The Bag around here last month, and this could be her best opportunity to date to reward her supporters. Glenmalure Flyer failed to finish that same maiden here a month ago when having her first start since joining Sam Curling, and she has since improved to finish third against geldings in Turtulla last Sunday.

GAINSVILLE went close at Tinahely in November, and whilst he was subsequently well-beaten in a stronger Lingstown contest, this could well be a nice opportunity for him to get his head in front following four consecutive placed efforts. Stablemate Maison De Balzac has similarly been knocking on the door for some time, whilst Got The Memo and Pearl Of Grange are others who could take advantage of this winnable opportunity.

Preview

Donnchadh Doyle has won the last three renewals of this race, and LAURIGE will bid to continue that winning run in this contest for the Monbeg team, as the E70,000 store purchase finished second in a four-year-old maiden at Tinahely in mid-November. The obvious danger is Regal Thunder after he finished third around here in December, which was a big step forward on his debut. Of the newcomers, Kiwi De Cotte is well-related and cost E65,000 at the store sales.
