Track Biography:
The Galway Blazers have a long history of holding a point-to-point dating back over a hundred years. The hunt dates from the beginning of the 19th century and has established itself as one of the famous Irish Hunts due to the goodwill and generosity of farmers and landowners throughout the county.
We run two meetings a year at Dartfield just outside Loughrea with the first one taking place in October and the second fixture being held in April. The course is situated at Dartfield Horse Museum and heritage centre which is set on 350 acres of parkland just forty minutes from Galway city.
Over the years, Loughrea point-to-point has produced many top national hunt stars such as Bewleys Berry, Boys Hurrah, Brindisi Breeze, Never Compromise and King Johns Castle.

Preview
The Matt Collins-trained I SEE YOU NOW stands out among these 41 entries following a very promising introduction at Castlelands when he finished third. The fourth-placed horse went close in Ballyragget last Sunday, whilst the race winner was bought by Gordon Elliott for 310,000stg at the Cheltenham Festival sale recently. Stable companion Getupearly also made the placings on his debut as too did Lucky Zebo and he represents Tom Keating whose horses seem to be in particularly good form at present.

It had looked as though MISTY DAY was bound for a placed finished in a big-field maiden at Lisronagh on her latest outing when she parted company with her rider. This could be a nice opportunity for her to make amends as she could hold the edge over Miss Benjo, Chatshow Host and Elusive Mae.

Preview
IFEOINLY has had the measure of both The Forge Hill and La Feline in recent outings and the pair could be set for another interesting rematch here. La Feline seemed to be coming back closer to her best when a staying-on third against geldings in Castlelands and that could make her a bigger danger here, whilst Lawlors Choice was a big-price winner of a Hunter Chase at Down Royal last week and is in the form of her life at present.

Preview
Farmacaffley maiden winner GUNNERY OFFICER lost little in defeat when finished second at Lingstown on his first step into winners company as the front pair had pulled a distance clear of their rivals. He could well regain the winning thread here. Of the last-time out maiden winners, Henry Gray certainly caught the eye at Nenagh last weekend when outbattling a more experienced rival, whilst Keep Me Posted and Leading Force are two others which cannot be discounted.

This has a particularly open look to it and it may well be that it presents the formerly track placed MAC SUIBHNE with his best chance to date to get his head in front. Future Benefits was only beaten ten lengths in a similar contest at Belclare last week, whilst Sir Shelby represents the same owner and handler as the winner of that adjacent contest last Sunday, and like that horse he too is a newcomer.
