Track Biography:
The North Kilkenny Foxhounds date back to 1931 with the first running of their point-to-point in the late 1940's.
The current racecourse at Parksgrove in Ballyragget has been in use since 1989, returning from Gowran Park to the open country, as had been in its formative years.
The right-handed course is practically level throughout making it a great viewing track and a favoured track amongst handlers that always has a large number of entries.
Previous track winners to have won at Ballyragget include former Grade One winner Herecomesthetruth, a maiden winner here in 2007, and former Grade Two winning Luska Lad won the open 2015.

MAIN STAGE may have had her finishing position enhanced by a pair of final fence fallers at Lisronagh on her debut, but she was running a solid race nonetheless on debut and had the measure of the potentially re-opposing Justmadeit. She sets the standard in this ahead of the expensive store purchase Joueuse Royale who also finished placed on debut and that was when she finished third at Ballycahane earlier this month.

Preview
WILD SIDE OF LIFE contested two decent maidens in the autumn, as not only did he finished third behind the subsequent impressive Punchestown bumper winner Ballyburn at Loughanmore in October, but he also came up against another subsequent bumper winner in Southoftheborder at Necarne. He was a beaten favourite on that occasion, but has been given plenty of time to bounce back from a somewhat below par effort. Isholo Du Vivien put up an improved effort in Tyrella following a change of tactics and a switch to quicker conditions and he looks the danger.

REBEL TREATY did not quite make the return that had been expected of her when beaten some 14 lengths at Castlelands earlier this month, but she had finished in front of a subsequent bumper winner on her debut in Dromahane and could well just bumped into a smart one last time. She is worth another chance. Carrig Kate ran well at Dromahane on her latest effort and has plenty of autumn form to bring her into the reckoining alongside the Colin Bowe trio of Barrons Land, Friars Island Lady and Emilys Choice.

Aidan Fitzgerald, John Nallen and Willie Murphy have won the last five renewals of this and the trio could all field runners in the 2023 renewal, and it is hard to get away from THE VILLAGE WAY further enhancing the success that Fitzgerald has enjoyed in the race. He may have been no match for Speed Davis at Boulta, but it was a good debut in the four-year-old division. The veteran Strong Roots has changed stables since she was last seen and she is battle-hardened handicapper and that experience will stand to her against a field where newcomers could feature heavily.

Is A Real Champ upset the favourite to win this race 12 months ago but he has not won in each of his five starts since and has 24 lengths to find with SOME ARE LUCKY from their meeting at Turtulla in November. The reigning champion mare La Feline gives Sam Curling a strong hand in this, with Annamix likely the biggest danger to the pair Curling could run in this. He may not have been able to recapture the form of his run in the Topham last year when disappointing in two opens this term, but he was fairing better before exiting at the last in the Tetratema Cup last week.

Preview
CLARABELLO acquitted himself well on his return to the pointing sphere at Farmacaffley last month and whilst his conqueror has not advertised the form since when disappointing at Kirkistown last weekend, his track form should leave him as the one to beat. Councillor K was no match for the subsequent winner Tara Cove at Ballinaboola last month and he is the obvious danger.
