Track Biography:

The Wexford foxhounds was formed in 1810 at Slevoy castle.

Our point-to-point has been in different locations over the years including Wexford racecourse, Gowran Park and Lingstown before being moved to its current location at Moorefields in November 2011. We run two meetings a year, one in the autumn at Knockmullen House, with our spring fixture taking place in Ballinaboola on the first weekend in February.

Set in the heart of Co. Wexford the course is left handed with a circuit of one mile and three fences in the home straight providing many exciting close finishes.

It is a very fair track of two long straights with two gentle left-handed bends, there are five fences on each circuit which measures a mile a lap.

The track has produced many top class individuals including the likes of Envoi Allen who made a winning debut in the four-year-old maiden in 2018 before progressing to become a multiple Grade 1 winner. That 2018 renewal also saw Appreciate It finish third, and he has also gone on to become a multiple Grade 1 winner in his own right for Willie Mullins.

Preview

Harley Dunne was responsible for the winner of this race 12 months ago and he looks to be out in force in a bid to repeat the feat this time around having entered no fewer than five horses in the race. Colin Bowe has won two of the last three renewals with Envoi Allen and Telmesomethinggirl and he is another handler well represented. Notably two of his entries are owned by Walter Connors, the same colours that were carried by Envoi Allen to win the 2018 renewal.

Preview

FEAR THE DEERE is a half-brother to the Grade 2 winning juvenile hurdler Sailors Warn and he travelled strongly into his debut at Turtulla before finishing third in what was a very encouraging introduction. It likely leaves him as the one to beat ahead of Paddy De Pole. He could make a quick return having finished fourth last Saturday in Tyrella, a card that saw his stable record their first success of the season which offers further encouragement. There are also a large number of newcomers in the potential line-up who will be worth a market check pre-race.

EITHER OR looked to come up against mare in the shape of the E115,000 store Sainte Baol on her debut at Turtulla. She looked the biggest danger to that horse when falling at the penultimate fence and that could be the main piece of form to follow because she had two of her potentially re-opposing rivals behind her at the time of her departure. They were Hollow Rodger and Iriskana who came through to take second and third-place respectively. The Affinisea mare will look to confirm that form for Robert Tector.

LONGHOUSE STAR was in the process of running a big race when coming down at the final fence in Boulta before Christmas and if he could reproduce that effort he looks like being the one to side with here. Tara Cove took a big step forward from his previous two outings when second at Carrigarostig to leave him as the obvious danger ahead of Stayinalive.

Royal Finesse, Ahaknowyerself and Greyrobin Star are closely matched on their recent meeting at Tinahely in the race that was won by Rockandrose, and GREYROBIN STAR could be the one to take out of the trio. He got tired before falling at the last in Tinahely, but prior to that he had finished third at Borris House with the two horses that finished in front of him advertising the form by both winning since.

Preview

Both GLOBAL ASSEMBLY and Everything Now have been placed in open company this season which is no mean feat and would look to bring the strongest form into the race. The former having only narrowly been denied in the final strides of a Hunter Chase at Clonmel last time. Gorthill could be turned out for the second weekend in a row, but he scarcely had a race at Tyrella last weekend such was the ease at which he won, and he could well prove to be a big player alongside the returning Red Ford Lad who beat subsequent maiden winners when making a winning debut 12 months ago.
