Track Biography:
Set amongst the picturesque Blackstairs Mountains, our race track is located close to the parade ring, bookies, final fence and the finish line making it extremely assessable for all of the family to view the day’s action.
Our point-to-point is located on the grounds of the beautiful Borris House which is one of the few intact living Irish estates that can trace its history back to Brehon times, and the royal ruling families of ancient Ireland. The estate is the family home of the 16th generation of McMorrough Kavanagh’s and still contains the majority of its original furniture, paintings, documentary archives and other historic family artefacts.
Borris House is a popular wedding venue with a range of beautiful accommodation offers to choose from as well as providing tours of the estate.

Preview
There is no standout candidate on paper, which could bring the newcomers into focus for this. Rob James rode the winner of this 12 months ago, and he could be responsible for two of those first timers in Clody Pearl and Lady Khaleesi. The Colin Bowe-trained Jukebox Bess is a half-sister to Whatsstoppingyou, who contested this race a couple of years ago and went on to win a maiden in Tipperary. Of those with form, Order Another One finished fourth on debut at Monksgrange in March, whilst Pixie Dust was third behind a recent sales topper at Quakerstown.

Preview
QUARTUNIS did not get any further than the first on his debut at Quakerstown, but big things were clearly expected of him, having been sent off as the odds-on favourite, and his supporters will be hoping to recoup their losses here. Jonathan Fogarty has scarcely missed the target with his runners in this division, so Supper Junior and Golden Current are two newcomers that would have to be respected, whilst Impact Sub will need to bounce back to his Tinahely debut, having disappointed in Quakerstown earlier this month.

Preview
Ian McCarthy has a 100 per cent strike rate between the flags this season, with three winners from three runners, and PRAGIMS DU BRIZAIS could continue his winning run. He finished fourth at Loughanmore in the spring, and, notably, the first two horses home in that race have both since won bumpers to advertise the form. The more experienced Keep Joy has finished placed in five of his six starts, but was a bit below par in Damma House last time, whilst Solar Stride finished second in a three-runner Tinahely maiden on his debut.

Preview
There was little between LEADING ROSE and Glenrouge when they met at Rathcannon at the beginning of the month. Leading Rose just held the slight edge when falling at the final fence, and she will look to confirm that form here. Morissette made a pleasing stable debut on her first start in this sphere at Lisronagh, whilst the long-absent Jolly Dolivate finished third when last seen at Dawstown in May 2024.

Preview
MAGIC SADLER goes in search of the hat-trick here for the in-form Emily Costello and Pat Doyle combination, which has proven to be the partnership to follow within the open division in recent weeks. Hollow Games has left Gordon Elliott since finishing third at the Punchestown Festival, and he is the obvious danger, having finished placed in two big hunter chases last spring, and he got within three lengths of Winged Leader on his last start in an open, whilst Pat Coyne is never too far away in these races.

Preview
DAYTIME FRIEND overcame a 20-month absence to finish second at Quakerstown earlier in the month, and with that effort under his belt, he could well prove to be too strong for his opposition in this. Borriswood has an absence of his own to overcome, having not been seen since finishing second at Inchydoney in May 2024, whilst the 90-rated hurdler Foxy Rock, and the Ballycrystal fourth, Malarado, are others for the shortlist.
