Track Biography:

The Stonehall Harriers were formed in 1911 and have their kennels in Bansha Askeaton, Co. Limerick.
Point-to-points have been a large part of the hunts calendar for many years.

We now run 3 meetings a year Ballysteen & Moig South.

Many talented riders and horses have graduated from the Stonehall Harriers point-to-points Adrian Maguire rode his first winner on this track which we hope to see this continuing in the years to come.

This will be our second year in Cragmore on the Costello’s Family land and is a terrific track which is always very well received. 

Grade 1 winner Death Duty won his four-year-old maiden here in 2015 and provided Derek O’Connor with his 1000th winner between the flags, making him the first point-to-point rider to ever achieve this remarkable milestone.

Preview

Ian McCarthy has had a winner and two placed finishers from five runners this season and he can enhance that strike rate here with REDZY ROCCO. She was only denied by a neck when finishing third in a four-year-old maiden at Dromahane at the end of December and looks to set the standard for this. Desperado Genie was unlucky at Tattersalls on her debut when meeting interference before the last which looked costly. Expect her to go close whilst Eve Moneypenny would certainly have finished placed at Carrigarostig recently on her debut but for falling at the last and cannot be discounted.

DRUMCLIFF BAY had the misfortune of falling twice within 48 hours when lining up at both Dromahane and Ballindenisk over the Christmas and New Year period and he would have finished a strong second on his latest outing only to come down at the last. If over those exertions he would look to set the standard for this. His stable companion Iris Des Issards also offered promise on his debut whilst Bitsnbuckles and stable debutant Brunello are others not without their chances.

WINGED LEADER is the current second favourite for the Cheltenham Festival Hunter Chase and he could have his first outing since narrowly denied by Billaway at last years Cheltenham Festival. He is sure to come on for the run but he has not been beaten in a point-to-point since 2019 and is the class act of the race. Everlastingpromise is a former Grade B winner over shorter trips and is an interesting addition to this sphere, whilst Er Dancer, Chatham Street Lad, Aloneamongmillions, and Killulgtagh Vic all add real depth to this.

SMELL THE ROSES represents a very much in-form stable that enjoyed a double last Sunday and their good fortunes could continue here as the Alkaadhem mare posting an encouraging effort when taking on more experienced rivals at Dromahane on her debut last month. She could step forward and take what looks a very open race. Del Amitir and Cooleenymore were both beaten favourites in recent weeks but can both get involved, whilst Ma Hoey is another for the shortlist.

Preview

ROCKANDROSE more than justified the patient approach of his connections when winning his maiden at the age of eight by a wide margin in Tinahely recently. A number of the well beaten horses that were in behind him franked the form by fighting out the finish of a similar race at Ballycrystal last Sunday and he could have the edge over Gorthill. He chased home a stable mate of the selection at Loughanmore and is the obvious danger given that Ultimate Optimist has since won a Hunter Chase, whilst Old Style Humor, Indian Louis and Iron Allen are others that can have an impact.

Preview

FOCUS POINT made a very encouraging return to action at Borris House last month when finishing second in a big-field maiden that has already produced two subsequent winners. He set a strong gallop that day and could open his account for the second time in this. Longhouse Star has an alternative option but if coming here would be the obvious danger given his unlucky final fence fall in Boulta. Custers Mistake has joined new connections and was twice placed over fences on the track last summer, whilst Cold Sobar and Royal Rocco are others with definite place claims.
