Track Biography:

The first Westmeath Foxhounds point-to-point took place in Loughegar in 1875. The Westmeath Foxhounds point to point committee have been holding meetings in Castletown Geoghegan for almost forty years. Prior to that, meetings were held at Mullingar Racecourse at Newbrook and Cullion, now the venue of Mullingar Showgrounds and Mullingar Rugby grounds.

During our Spring fixture we have one of the most prestigious contests run in the point-to-point circuit, the Barbour Cup. It has been the race where many racing stars have returned to point-to-pointing to run in Open Lightweights and have taken part in this historic race.

In addition, many young horses who have won their maiden here, have continued very successful careers on the track.For example previous course winner,  It Takes Time won the Ascot Gold Cup and wasthird in the Stayers Hurdle at the Cheltenham festival aswell as finshing fourth in the English Grand National. Royal Caviar, who won his maiden in 2013, went on to win four times on the track as well as finishing fourth in the 2017 Arkle chase at the Cheltenham festival.

SUNSET CAROUSEL was in pursuit of the subsequent E320,000 seller Night League when tipping up two-out in Ballysteen last April, and if coming here instead of his alternative entry in Toomebrige, he should go close. Make It Happen made his debut around here in April, finishing third, having been sent off as the favourite. He is the obvious danger, whilst Shadow Of Dawn should not be too far away as he offered promise at Curraghmore.

BUDDY AND ME took a big step forward at Tattersalls on the final weekend of last season, as she was only denied by head in a performance which would leave her as the one to beat. Foreveradiva was four lengths behind her on that occasion which may leave Silverado Blue as the danger. She offered plenty of encouragement on her debut, finishing third at Ballyknock before disappointing at Necarne. If returning to the promise of her initial effort, she should go close.

CITY SLIPPERS ended last season on a high, winning at Tattersalls by 14 lengths, ending an 18-month wait for a second career success. If he could return in that form he has the strongest form in the book. Despite remaining a maiden, Bedtime Bob has clearly been working well at home, as he has been sent off as the favourite for his two outings to date, whilst Fierce Friend has changed stables since finishing second at Ballindenisk in May.

Colin Bowe looks to have a strong hand in this courtesy of Poets Laureate and BASIL AND OLIVE who both showed that they should be maiden winners with their efforts last season. The latter only found one rival too good when second in a maiden that has already produced three subsequent winners. Of the others, Fierce Friend has changed stables since finishing second in Ballindenisk, whilst In Around Thehouse was placed in a Kilbeggan bumper in August and that recent effort will stand to him.

LIFETIME AMBITION has been one of the top open lightweight horses in recent seasons, and that will likely continue here. What Path did finish a length and a half in front of him at Killarney in May, but that effort came just 10 days after the Champion Hunter Chase in Punchestown, which may have left its mark. Meanwhile, Galon De Vauzelle had Asphalt Cowboy behind when winning by a wide margin at Tinahely last season, and if he could bounce back to that form, he would have to be a contender.

Preview

CHIEFS KINGDOM was beaten by less than a length off a mark 106 over hurdles at Leopardstown last Christmas on his penultimate start, and the return to the pointing fields could be rewarded here. The Gallan has switched stables over the summer, having posted some solid efforts late last season; whilst Pacheco and Ballintemple King are both long overdue maiden wins and would not be winning out of turn.
