Track Biography:
Ballysteen Point-to-Point is held under the auspices of Stonehall Harriers Hunt. Stonehall Harriers celebrated their centenary in 2011, having been founded in 1911. Having held a point-to-point in Askeaton for many years, the Stonehall Harriers began holding the Ballysteen Point-to-Point on 4 May 1996. Originally an evening meeting in May, the meeting moved to a Sunday in April after about 10 years. The point-to-point has run every year since 1996, with the exception of 2001.
Michael O’Shaughnessy, Master of the Hunt, has been in his position since 1953, and he remains actively involved in the Stonehall Harriers and the point-to-point.
Ballysteen Point-to-Point has been held on a family farm since its inception in 1996. The course is left-handed, with three circuits (totalling three miles) and 15 fences per race.
Many winners in Ballysteen have progressed beyond point-to-points, including Celtic Native, Monksland and the famous Faugheen. Faugheen won his first race at Ballysteen.

Preview
There is very little placed form on offer in this, with SMOKE TRAIL fairing best of those with previous experience, as he beaten by just over nine lengths when making his debut three weeks ago at Dromahane. That experience will stand to him. Of the newcomers, Jardin De Tunis was a six-figure purchase from the store sales, and he could be worth a market check beforehand.

ONE DAY IN MAY was only beaten by the narrowest of margins possible when making her debut recently in Dromahane, and it is hard to get away from her here for a stable that have seen their four runners this season finish in the first two, including a Quakerstown winner last Sunday. Giorgia Rose also filled the runners-up spot on home turf at Ballycrystal, whilst Trustfall would be a big player if bouncing back to the promise of her debut effort in Ballyragget.

Preview
MAKINBECON followed up a promising effort in Belclare when posted a personal-best performance at Tattersalls recently and that could leave him spot on for this. Noble Run is the obvious threat after his Knockanohill effort last month, and he hails from a stable that won a similar contest last weekend, whilst just over two lengths separated Stay Hopeful and Fortuneville at Castletown-Geoghegan last time.

Preview
CARNFUNNOCK could make it a worthwhile trip for Larne for his connections, after he put up a big effort to finish sixth in the Hunter Chase at the Cheltenham Festival. He had won consecutive open races before that, and should return to winning ways in this. The Great Unknown has an easier alternative in Fairyhouse 24 hours later, but if showing up for this she would certainly put up a bold showing after her Quakerstown win, where she comfortably had the measure of the potentially re-opposing I Masked Du Potier.

Preview
COSMIC BLIZZARD has been in great form this season, and he doubled his career tally in a good performance at Stradbally recently which should leave him as the one to beat. Glenmalure Lady was unlucky to make a costly final-fence blunder at Loughanmore on Monday and bids for quick compensation, whilst Making Country and Catalani, who both won at Nenagh last month, are both capable of better than their latest efforts.

Preview
OCCUPATIONAL FORCE has met with a narrow defeat in each of his last two outings, and with plenty of options open to his connections this weekend, he should get his head in front wherever he was to show up. Diamond Hunter will likely be the danger, as he too was only narrowly denied when last seen at Quakerstown last Sunday, whilst Primitic is another that has long been knocking on the door.
