Track Biography:
Ballysteen Point-to-Point is held under the auspices of Stonehall Harriers Hunt. Stonehall Harriers celebrated their centenary in 2011, having been founded in 1911. Having held a point-to-point in Askeaton for many years, the Stonehall Harriers began holding the Ballysteen Point-to-Point on 4 May 1996. Originally an evening meeting in May, the meeting moved to a Sunday in April after about 10 years. The point-to-point has run every year since 1996, with the exception of 2001.
Michael O’Shaughnessy, Master of the Hunt, has been in his position since 1953, and he remains actively involved in the Stonehall Harriers and the point-to-point.
Ballysteen Point-to-Point has been held on a family farm since its inception in 1996. The course is left-handed, with three circuits (totalling three miles) and 15 fences per race.
Many winners in Ballysteen have progressed beyond point-to-points, including Celtic Native, Monksland and the famous Faugheen. Faugheen won his first race at Ballysteen.

Preview
JACK DEVINE finished an encouraging second on his debut at Oldtown in February over 2m4f, and the step up to 3 miles may allow him to travel with greater fluency through the race. The Two Amigos failed to improve on his debut second at Tyrella when last at Liscarroll last month, however he has that placed form in the book and has to be respected. The newcomers are likely to be big players in this contest.

Preview
BEN THE BOYO has by-passed a number of recent engagements but if appearing here he could be the one to side with as he has the strongest form in the book having chased home the impressive Neon Wolf at Ballyragget in a strongly run contest. Lough Derg Jewel is consistent and should be there or there abouts, whilst Knockanamona would have to be considered if returning to the form of his Boulta run in late November.

The veteran SIZING AUSTRALIA may be the one to side with here in a wide-open contest as he has already finished in the money on five starts this season and is a very consistent performer. Big Jer is another winner this term, whilst Pocket Reader held strong claims when parting company with his rider at Dungarvan in January and is certainly one for the short list.

QUEENS WELL has bumped into a number of smart types this term and with plenty of experience behind her she is due a deserved maiden success, whilst her stable is in good form which is a further plus for her cause. Little Bleu bumped into a very much above average performer at Loughanmore on Easter Monday when making her debut, and she would look the big danger alongside the well-bred Princess Mononoke who makes her debut.

Preview
FOLLOW THE MOON caused an upset at Loughrea last weekend and is turned out quickly but if building upon that first run back from an absence, it would be no surprise to see him follow-up. Kick Start could be one to watch at a bigger price as he easily brushed aside Kilna Shane last season and that horse has since won twice to frank the form. Although lightly recently, he has run well following a break in the past. Carraig Thuathail and Kilcolman Hill are next best.

Preview
DICK DARSIE ran well during the Autumn but was disappointing on his return from a break at Ballyarthur last month and it would not be a surprise to see him bounce back to form and go close here. Tarmac Jimmy was narrowly beaten at Castletown but that was a messy incident packed race and he may need to step-up further, whilst Trixiebarry and Just Wait And See are other dangers.
