Track Biography:

The Wexford foxhounds was formed in 1810 at Slevoy castle.

Our point-to-point has been in different locations over the years including Wexford racecourse, Gowran Park and Lingstown before being moved to its current location at Moorefields in November 2011. We run two meetings a year, one in the autumn at Knockmullen House, with our spring fixture taking place in Ballinaboola on the first weekend in February.

Set in the heart of Co. Wexford the course is left handed with a circuit of one mile and three fences in the home straight providing many exciting close finishes.

It is a very fair track of two long straights with two gentle left-handed bends, there are five fences on each circuit which measures a mile a lap.

The track has produced many top class individuals including the likes of Envoi Allen who made a winning debut in the four-year-old maiden in 2018 before progressing to become a multiple Grade 1 winner. That 2018 renewal also saw Appreciate It finish third, and he has also gone on to become a multiple Grade 1 winner in his own right for Willie Mullins.

Preview

TAKE EM OUT was a close second on debut at Dowth Hall and will be hard to beat here on his second ever start. A competitive affair sees Vital Island who ran well at Maralin and Minellatilmorning who was third at that venue back in May both likely to be on terms in the latter stages also. Cagliostro ran well for a long way off a strong pace at Portrush and much improvement can be expected while General Consensus is a consistent sort with a chance.

Highland Rebel and Dimple have interesting track form to note here while Colin Bowe has three form options here with Lacken Bridge, Robert De Bruce and Land Laegue all having their chances whichever is confirmed to run.

Preview

GRACEMOUNT was a close third last time at Ballysteen towards the end of last season and is given the nod to see off her rivals here. Devito?sgoldengirl ran well last time at Castletown on debut when beaten just ten lengths and is another to take seriously here while Moneystown was second twice this season already and must be very close to getting off the mark.

Preview

FOXROCK is a fascinating entry here who was a high class chaser on his best. Still only an eight-year-old he could well be a high class option at this discipline. Ourmanmassini has won twice by wide margins already this season and his defeats have come in very decent company and will again be involved. Theroadtocroker was third at Tinahely and he too can be expected to run well here. Sydeny Paget and Rossvoss along with Old Kilcash are all interesting options to consider in this competitive contest while Need to Know is course winner with recent form also.
