Track Biography:

The North Kilkenny Foxhounds date back to 1931 with the first running of their point-to-point in the late 1940's.

The current racecourse at Parksgrove in Ballyragget has been in use since 1989, returning from Gowran Park to the open country, as had been in its formative years.

The right-handed course is practically level throughout making it a great viewing track and a favoured track amongst handlers that always has a large number of entries.

Previous track winners to have won at Ballyragget include former Grade One winner Herecomesthetruth, a maiden winner here in 2007, and former Grade Two winning Luska Lad won the open 2015.

NEEDED THE RUN comes here in decent form having narrowly failed at Lismore last time and should be able to go one better this time. Knockadine ran well on her debut at Lemonfield and therefore should be able to run well here and go close. Dantes Queen and Hearditbefore need to get back to their best but can feature if they do.

Preview

MANY STARS was second to The Clock Leary last time and that could be good enough to see him win here. Mortlestown has yet to run a bad race so should not be far away here again. Trickaway and Stonemadforspeed have both fared well on their debuts and therefore can become very competitive here also. March Seventeenth was in with a chance when falling at the last on his debut and must also be considered.

On his best form DEFINITE MAGIC has to be hard to beat and he has been second on two of his last three starts so this should be the chance he needs to get off the mark. Reddy Boy was a fair second a couple of runs ago at Kilworth and looks next best.

Mandy Carroll was a little disappointing last time but on her day is a threat. Theroadtocroker and Wiseoverbury are the each way options.

GULLIVAR has experience at this level which may give him a narrow edge over some who come here having won their maiden last time. Ballyhiho looked a nice type when winning his maiden here in 2010 but must overcome that absence. Burren River won his debut at Lingstown in the Autumn and deserves respect and Fernandos Song is one who has a recent success to his name so could be best of the challengers to the selection.

Preview

CAVE HUNTER met a decent looking sort last time at The Pigeons and therefore could be the one to side with here. Waddington Hero is struggling to get his head in front and Bravehearted Harry could also run well. High Web is consistent and his form behind Soweheard is standing up as the latter has won again since so perhaps he is the one to take to give the selection most to think about.
