Track Biography:

The Mid-Antrim Hunt was formally set up in the 1870’s as a harrier pack, although it was in existence for at least a hundred years before that. It was believed to have had its first official meeting in The Thatch Pub in Broughshane in 1875.

The Mid Antrim point-to-point Course is just outside Moneyglass very close to Toomebridge. Toome or Toomebridge (from Irish: Tuaim, meaning "tumulus"), is a small village and townland on the northwest corner of Lough Neagh in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. Moneyglass was at one time home to Malachy McCourt and his family who was the father of Frank McCourt, author of Angela's Ashes, a winner of The Pulitzer Prize, the NBCC Award, The LA Times Award and the Royal Society of Literature Award.
 
Champion National Hunt jockey and 2010 BBC Sports Personality of the Year winner, Tony McCoy, who received an OBE in 2010, was born in Moneyglass.

Another sports star reared in Moneyglass was world famous Rugby Union player Willie John McBride who capped for Ireland on 63 occasions which includes 12 times as Captain.

Preview

Rob James saddled a four-year-old double at Fairyhouse last season, and CAVALIER DU LUY could continue that good fortune for the Wexford handler following two solid efforts at Comea and Ballycahane. Experience can count for a lot around here, so those two runs will certainly stand to him. Bergamasquo also has the benefit of two previous runs, and he will be looking to put right a fall at Portrush last time, whilst Colin Bowe is another handler in form and his Robyns Jet only found a stablemate too strong at Ballyknock on debut.

Preview

SUPREME WALK took a nice step forward following his Loughbrickland debut when finishing third in a decent-looking contest at Loughanmore over the Easter weekend. That could give him the edge here. Stablemate Devilsrollthedice posted a notable PB at Ballyknock last time, whilst Chichester Park has twice finished in the third three this season, including at Kirkistown in March when finishing behind a horse who has since won twice.

Preview

CLOUGH CLOUDS represents the stable that won this race 12 months ago, and although he did disappoint at Portrush last time, his opening two efforts would suggest he is well up to winning a race like this. Carrhill has seemed to turn a corner of late, and he could go one place better than his second at Loughanmore on Easter Monday, whilst Unfortunatecharlie was sent off as the favourite for his debut at Lisronagh in March, but he does have an alternative entry at the end of the card, which may leave the 104-rated hurdler, Southey, as the other threat to watch out for.

Preview

STOWAWAY LASS is a mare with plenty of track form to her name, and she looked quite unlucky at Stradbally recently when exiting two-out. Her experience will be a plus here in a wide-open contest. Teddington Lock has twice finished placed, including at Loughanmore last time, whilst Cross Of Redmoor, Zagirlie and Castlegore are others that can be given chances.

Preview

A winner at both Tyrella and Kirkistown already this season, CARNFUNNOCK ran with real credit at the Cheltenham Festival, and this could be a nice opportunity to add to his tally, as he already has the measure of the potentially re-opposing Gorthill from their meeting at Portrush in the autumn. That could leave Vina Ardanza as the big danger. A winner at Kirkistown in November, he has been running creditably without winning since, and was only three and a half lengths adrift of the selection in Tyrella last time.

Preview

UNFORTUNATECHARLIE is double entered earlier on the card, but this could be the easier option for him following a very promising start to his career, when finishing a close second in a similar contest at Lisronagh. That would leave him with a favourites change for this. Braidside Boy only missed out on a maiden win by a length at Loughanmore on Easter Monday when returning from a lengthy absence, and that should have brought him on, whilst the Colin Bowe pair, Maison De Balzac and Kings Cowboy, have regularly been placed this season and should be in the shake-up.
