Track Biography:
Most commonly know now as the home of Irish Jump Racing Punchestowns history begins with Kildare Hunt Club.
One of the oldest in the country, the history of the Kildare Hunt Club goes back as far as the 18th century with the first Master being Squire Connolly of Castletown.
The Hunt Club would host races in various locations around the county but in the 1840’s during the master ship of John La Touche the members of Kildare Hunt Club decided to buy the lands at Punchestown.
Those lands are still held by the trustees of Kildare Hunt Club and continue to be used as the location for the point-to-point.

Preview
Colin Bowe had been the handler to side with in this contest, winning it on three consecutive occasions between 2020 and 2023. However, last year that stranglehold was broken by the Ellen Doyle-trained They Want Me. That stable has a pair of possible contenders this time around with Slit The Deck and Quickkick, but it is LAMALRIC for the champion handler who has the advantage of experience having been very much involved on his debut when coming down at the final fence in Tallow recently.

Preview
KNIGHT TEMPLAR has not been seen since making a promising debut at Dromahane last April, but the form of the race has been boosted in the subsequent ten months, as the winner has gone on to win both of his subsequent outings in bumpers for Dan Skelton, he has advertised the form nicely. Seven lengths separated My Milkman and Cause For Comment when they made their respective debuts at Ballindenisk last month, whilst the Donnchadh Doyle stable could also rely on the Ballinaboola-third Keep Joy.

FOUNTAIN HOUSE has come a long way since finishing third in the older maiden on this card last year, including finishing a fine second in the Ladies Cup at the festival last year. He has gone from strength to strength this season and is likely suited by the return to three miles here. Kap Dange is a very interesting contender on his return from an absence, as he had a subsequent Grade 2 winner behind him when landing a four-year-old maiden on debut in Ballycahane almost two years ago. He has not been seen since, but he would have to be a big player, whilst Gale Force Jet represents the same owner-trainer combination that won the Bishopscourt Cup at the festival last year, and he comes into this having won his last two.

BOSS ROBIN and Er Dancer have crossed paths in each of their latest two outings, with the head-to-head standing at one-all from those latest two encounters. The former is preferred here, to edge ahead once again, following his latest success in Comea. Clonmel hunter chase winner Milan Forth continues to progress this season and has finished placed in both of his outings in open company, including when he had the potentially re-opposing Pat Coyne behind at Ballycrystal in December.

JOS SECRET looks the obvious form selection for this after she put in a fine performance on debut, just coming up second best to a more experienced rival at Knockmullen House back in November. The form has worked out well, with two subsequent maiden winners coming from those who finished behind her, and it is hard to side against her. First Candidate was still going well when coming down three-out at Taylorstown last year, whilst her stablemate Pappariche was a E40,000 store.

LONG ROAD has changed stables since running a fine race in defeat at Turtulla last month and it would be no surprise to see him make a winning first outing for the Philip Rothwell team in this. Minella Mission went close in a four-runner event at Dungarvan recently and should be knocking on the door once again, alongside Fairly River who held definite place claims when coming down at the last in Ballinaboola on what was an encouraging introduction.
