Track Biography:

The Golden Vale hunt was revived by Tim Hyde and Michael Purcell.

The hounds were hunted by John Pickering, James Foley, Capt. Donald Swan, Rory Dicken, Tom O’Meara, Jim Quinlan and presently by Michael Comerford.

The point-to-point has been run annually at various venues. The first meeting was held at College Hill Templemore and has since been run at Thurles racecourse, Fairyhill Templemore, Coolkip Horse and Jockey, Glenbane Holycross and now at its current venue of Turtulla Thurles.

I AM GONNA BE took a notable step forward from his debut when finishing a close third in what looked a strong Tattersalls maiden recently and it would not take much further improvement from her to provide her handler with a first success in the sphere. Like Ma Ta represents a stable that are 3-3 in points this season, and she is a danger alongside Born Famous and Largy Sis.

After finishing third in a strongly-run Tattersalls maiden at the beginning of the month, ZAIDI could be tough to beat here as that looks a notable piece of form. The Colin Bowe pair of Champagne Town and Dont Walk Away are the obvious dangers having made the frame in all their previous starts, with a whole host of newcomers also entered in this and the market will give the best indication of those that are expected to play a big part.

QUITE INCREDIBLE was just two lengths in arrears of the highly-touted and recent maiden hurdle winner Ginto when finishing third in a Fairyhouse bumper at the turn of the year. That was his second time finishing in the first three in a bumper and he could take this for Nina Carberry. Minella Zoom is the obvious danger and has recent face fitness on his side as he was only beaten by a length at Damma House a fortnight ago. Imperial Tune could be next best of those with form.

ITS ALL GUESSWORK put up a big performance in winning at Damma House recently and with similar conditions likely facing him here he would look to set a high standard in this. Former Irish National fourth Snugsborough Benny stayed on late to take second in a Hunter Chase at Fairyhouse, finishing in front of Mighty Stowaway who has already boosted that form by winning at Loughbrickland last Saturday. Samanntom is in top form at present and looking for a fourth winner of the season whilst the returning Er Dancer, Lite Duties and Templebredin were all decent open performers last season and can once again enter the mix.

In this first race to be run for handlers who have trained ten winners or less, YOUR OWN STORY could be the one to side with here following his promising third at Kinsale recently. The sixth from that race has already gone close at Knockmullen House last weekend to advertise the form and it could give him the edge over Oldcastle runner-up Whinny Island. Chitchat Sally has gone close in her latest outings and both her and Quakerstown third Cappajune Lady, will have the benefit of the mares allowance.
