Track Biography:

The Island Hunt dates back to the early 1900's and is based in Gorey Co.Wexford. Courtown point-to-point is held under the auspices of the Island Hunt.

Last year was the first running of the fixture at its current venue, and already the track has been witness to some very promising looking individuals. Burning Ambition took the winners race on the day and has since clocked up three futher pointing wins, a hunter chase win and ran very well for a long time at the Cheltenham Festival. The Pierce Power-trained gelding is now a leading fancy for Aintree's Foxhunters Chase.

Courtown and the surrounding area is blessed with fabulous long sandy beaches stretching from Kilpatrick beach which is north of Courtown and should you drive down the coast road from Courtown to Wexford you will come across a plethora of beaches for you to chose from.

Preview

WINGED LEADER ran with promise on debut at Dromahane when finishing third and the experience will stand to him here. Gameface, also third on debut, will also have to be considered to go close after his run behind Malone Road. Of the others with previous form, Mistermoonboy is worth noting as he finished 12-lengths behind Thatsy at Lingstown and should have come on from that run.

Preview

DRUNKEN TATTOO is a well-bred sort and she ran well for a long time on debut at Borris last month in a similar event to finish fourth. She will have come on well from that run. Crystal Kate just fell short in an adjacent maiden in Lismore when two-lengths adrift of Judkin, who subsequently won the point-to-point bumper at Cork over Easter. Elsewhere, Tourgar Pure Gold and Ninja Nelly haveboth posted decent runs and should not be over looked.

GUN MERCHANT looks to be the one to side with here, having found just one too good on debut at Durrow last month. The Colin Bowe-trained gelding should have a race of this nature well within his grasps this season. Another to run well on debut was Liars Dice, when finishing third to two more experienced types at Curraghmore, and he should come on from that run. Of the remainder, Hadmeathello, Blue Monday and Cavalry Scout are all not without their chances.

The Vincent Halley-trained CHINENSIS won a competitive maiden at Dromahane in November, in which the fourth place horse, Kensukes Kingdom, has since won to advertise the form. Recent Castletown scorer Arctic Road could challenge the selection, and if Starozov can overcome a below par effort last time out, he will also be in the mix.

Preview

In what looks like a competitive looking mares open, the preference would have to go to CORELLA CREEK who was a winner last time out at Loughanmore in a similar event. The in-form Ask Mary is seeking a fourth win on the bounce and if she can continue her upward trajectory could go close. Longhouse Music, Cloudy Day and Jodies Miss are also ones to watch in a hot looking race.

Preview

DUBAI DANDY was just touched off at Rathcannon last weekend and if he can handle the quick turnaround could be expected to go one better here. Myoldman has been second on three out of four runs, and should really be capable of getting his head in front in an event of this nature. Tajj, second on debut, could also go close if you make allowances for a below par effort last time out.
