Track Biography:
The West Waterford Hunt was formed in 1915 from the amalgamation of the Coshmore and Cois Bride hunts. The first Lismore Point to Point was held in 1912 under the Coshmore Hunt and since 1923 the event has been held in the grounds of Lismore Castle estate .
The course lies to the west of the Castle with a backdrop of typical West Waterford country and the Knockmealdown Mountains rising in the distance.
The point to point has a large dedicated committee of volunteers who throw their full energy into making the day a success.
The course is anticlockwise away from the Lismore towards Tallow with a long straight in front of the main spectator areas leading to a shorter straight rising to a hill on the far side of the course then bending back downhill to a finish once again in front of the main spectator area.
For those with the time and a desire to enjoy the scenery of West Waterford before crossing the Blackwater River Bridge at Youghal take the left turn on the Cork side of the bridge and follow the Blackwater River in a general northerly direction through Knockanore and then follow the signs for Lismore.
The ground is generally in a firm condition even after prolonged periods of rain due to the drainage through the limestone bed rock .

Preview
The well-bred MASTER OF TARA finished a close second at Knockanard in a very competitive contest and he sets a strong benchmark for this contest. Voie Dans Voie stayed-on strongly over the shorter trip of 2m4f at Punchestown on debut and he should be suited by the step-up in trip. The Colin Bowe pairing of Darius Des Bois and Overworkdunderpaid both ran with credit on debut and can be expected to step-up.

Preview
Multiply entered across the weekend, WHAT ANOTHER YEAR would appear to be the one to beat if running here having coming down at the final fence at Killeagh in January whilst launching a strong challenge. The Paul Cashman-trained Marcle Ridge may well be the main danger to the selection having caught the eye with his second-placed debut effort at Ballyvodock. Gortroe Joe was most unlucky to take a crashing fall at Tallow last month, as he held a clear advantage at the time and looks smart. Of the others, Moneymaker would have to be considered a potential contender having finished third at Nenagh in January.

LACKANEEN LEADER is also entered at Lemonfield, and whichever engagement her connections choose to take-up, she has to be considered as the one to beat following two encouraging placed efforts, including at Cragmore last month in a very competitive contest. Honest To Goodness has finished placed in each of her last three outings, whilst Gold Digger Girl, Aines Choice and Seeyouallinchasers, are all horses who made the frame recently, and repeat performances can be expected here.

Fennos Storm goes in chase of a similar feat and represents an in-form yard, who could also be represented by Ruairis Cloud who could have his first start for the Declan Queally stable here. Red River Gold is returning from a significant absence, however he is a previous open winner and has to be respected on that basis.

BL SWAGGER would have to be considered a warm order for an open lightweight of this nature as he enters the race off the back of a comfortable Cragmore success last month. Fennos Storm could well be the main danger despite this being his first taste of open company and he is clearly in good form of late. Stable companion Ruairis Cloud has been beaten by wide-margins in recent times as has Lanespark. Dantes King has switched yards since his last run and if returning back to his best, he may well be able to get amongst the placings.
