Track Biography:
The Mid-Antrim Hunt was formally set up in the 1870’s as a harrier pack, although it was in existence for at least a hundred years before that. It was believed to have had its first official meeting in The Thatch Pub in Broughshane in 1875.
The Mid Antrim point-to-point Course is just outside Moneyglass very close to Toomebridge. Toome or Toomebridge (from Irish: Tuaim, meaning "tumulus"), is a small village and townland on the northwest corner of Lough Neagh in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. Moneyglass was at one time home to Malachy McCourt and his family who was the father of Frank McCourt, author of Angela's Ashes, a winner of The Pulitzer Prize, the NBCC Award, The LA Times Award and the Royal Society of Literature Award.
Champion National Hunt jockey and 2010 BBC Sports Personality of the Year winner, Tony McCoy, who received an OBE in 2010, was born in Moneyglass.
Another sports star reared in Moneyglass was world famous Rugby Union player Willie John McBride who capped for Ireland on 63 occasions which includes 12 times as Captain.

Preview
SPARKLARK was only beaten eight lengths in a decent looking Boulta maiden and showed form at Ballinaboola before falling at the last also so must be considered the one to beat here. Lords Park Star was second in a Lisronagh four-year-old maiden before Christmas and has strong claims as does Winter Walk who was third at Borris recently. Fly Vinnie has some solid placed form and can prove a danger.

BALLYCAMP was fourth on his last two outings in five-year-old company and therefore may edge out Knockans Bridge who has his form in six-year-old company. The pair seem to have the best form and should fight this one out.

Preview
BALLY BEAUFORT is a very talented performer at this level and seems to have found another opportunity here. Send For Paddy was second to him last time but on this course suitable for front runners could give him more to think about here. Ground Invasion is stepping up from winners company for the first time. The Last Derby was disappointing last time but like stable companion Slippers Percy is talented on his day.

HONEYHOLM ran with some credit in a top notch mares maiden at Tattersalls last time and if returning fit here could take all the beating. Flight Line ran well at maralin last time and will be a strong alternative for punters here. Ravelo was third at Maralin and can be very much involved while Ballybrack Dancer was disappointing at Armagh but on her best has claims.

THE REBEL PANTHER was narrowly beaten at Borris last time and may be best here. According To Dan and Mister to Mister both have placed form at this level could be best of the rest.
