Track Biography:

Point-to-Point racing has a long and rich history at the scenic location of Fairwood Park, Tinahely, since 1989. Fairwood Park also plays host to the Tinahely Agricultural Show each summer which is one of Ireland's longest running agricultural show.

Jamie Codd, who is the second winning-most point-to-point rider in the history of the sport became the first modern day rider to ride all six winners on the one card at Tinahely in October 2011.

Previous track winners to have won at Tinahely include former Grade One winner Fundamentalist and Cheltenham Gold Cup runner-up On His Own.

Tinahely is situated in the heart of the Wicklow countryside, the garden of Ireland. Located just an hour and half from the bustle of Dublin city, Tinahely is a pretty village in south west Wicklow that offers a variety of walking opportunities and a gateway to the beautiful Irish landscape.

Preview

With the Colin Bowe stable responsible for two of the three four-year-old maiden winners coming into this weekend, it could pay to follow his yard here, with BIG DIFFERENCE, a horse with a notable piece of form to his name having finished third on debut in a top notch Loughanmore maiden last Easter. Goldencard ran well to finish second at Inch in a competitive race and is the clear alternative, whilst Shanacoole stayed-on well in the closing stages on his debut at Dromahane late last season suggesting he should be not too far away.

Preview

OVER THE ARCH was unlucky to part company with his rider in the closing stages at Ballindenisk last season. However, having gone close at Curraghmore on his debut, he has shown plenty already. That is the standout piece of form in this race, and it may fall to the newcomers to provide the pick of the dangers.

SENATORS GLORY has proven herself against geldings in winners company and had the misfortune of bumping into a well above sort at Castletown on the opening day of the season. She can return to winning ways here. Dinos Benefit appears to bring the standout form from maiden company of those who step into winners division for the first time.

AUPCHARLIE only visited the track on three occasions last season, however he did win a hunter chase at Fairyhouse and is a classy performer in that sphere on his day. Samanntom only found subsequent winner A Decent Excuse too good at Castletown, and with that form having already been boosted, he is the clear alternative who will be well capable of defeating the selection if there are any fitness doubts with him.

Preview

In what looks a wide-open race, the newcomers may hold the key to this race, and therefore any notable market support for the likes of Agent Memphis, who is out of a half-sister to the prolific hurdler Emotional Moment, or Castafiore Park from the Paul Nolan, would be of note. Larkfield Lass would look to have the pick of the previous form having finished fourth around here in January 2016.

Preview

STREETS OF MILAN is back from 12 months off the track following a very disappointing run at Dowth Hall. Prior to that, he had put in two very decent efforts in the five-year-old division and a repeat of either of those efforts would see him tough to beat here as he is the standout performer of this quartet. Okey Dokey, a faller last Sunday at Loughrea could be the possible danger.
