Track Biography:
The firsts set of National Hunt Committee rules were published in 1889 and Kilkenny Hunt with its long illustrious history of holding point-to-point meets can trace its first meeting back to then. Point-to-point meetings were held under the master ship of Ikey Bell at Lacken, near Bonnettstown in 1909 and from 1914 meetings were at Bishopslough.
Thereafter meetings continued to circulate around the country, 1926 in Ballyfacey, 1927 Rahelty, 1948 Stonecarthy, 1949-1959 Wollengrange, Gowran 1960-1989. From there the point-to-point moved to Brambelstown, Kilbline, Grennan and then to its current location in Damma House.
We hold two meetings during the season, one in November and one in May. Our tracks over the years have seen many winners go on to establish themselves amongst the elite of the racing world, dual Welsh National winner Mountainous and Tranquil Sea to name but a few.

IMPACT SUB had his supporters in the betting ring prior to his debut at Tinahely recently, and whilst no match for the eventual winner on that occasion, he did have the measure of the potentially re-opposing Lanzhou, and the run is sure to have brought him forward. Midnight In Tokyo and Jet Away Island have also finished fourth on their respective debuts, whilst The Stormy Ranger would hold claims if reproducing his Tattersalls effort.

KEEP JOY made a very encouraging stable debut for Simon Cavanagh at Loughanmore last month, when only finding one rival too strong in a race that clocked a quick time. He could be the answer to this, as he has the advantage of recent race fitness over Jonzac who has not been seen since he finished third at Ballyknock in April. He should still be a big player on his return.

Just a length separated ELLENS PRIDE and Leading Rose in a slowly-run race at Tinahely recently, and Ellens Pride will bid to confirm that form if the pair re-oppose here, whilst Shake The Bag could also represent the Sam Curling team, and she stepped forward from her return to action at Loughrea by going close at Loughanmore. Gino Bella is another for the shortlist after her third in Loughrea, as the runner-up in that contest provided a timely form boost at Tattersalls last week.

STEP UP SON finished second when a 100/1 shot in the prestigious Tetretema Cup at Gowran last season. He was unable to reproduce that form in two subsequent starts, but this is a drop in grade. Fralimonti Bilbery had over three lengths to spare over On Lovers Walk at Castletown-Geoghegan a month ago, and he will bid to confirm that form here, whilst Catalani bounced back to form in some style at Loughrea and cannot be discounted.

Preview
The reigning Cheltenham Foxhunters hero WONDERWALL could make his return to action in a race that he was successful in 12 months earlier. There are no shortage of dangers in what could be a very hot race, as the opposition could include the former Grade 1 winner Fakir Doudairies and the history-making Winged Leader. He recorded his 34th victory in the sphere at Portrush three weeks ago, whilst stablemates Desertmore House and Panda Boy are others capable of getting involved.

Sam Curling could have a strong hand in this, with DEPALMA possibly the one to side with following his recent stable debut. Well-backed for his first outing in this sphere, he only found one rival too strong at Loughanmore, but would not have too much more to find. Beau Walking also boasts previous placed track form, as does Coolcullen, whilst Occupational Force was placed in his last four starts and has changed stables over the summer break.
