Track Biography:
Rathcannon point-to-point has played host to many Hunts over the years and more recently to the Limerick Foxhounds & the Limerick Foxhounds Bruff point-to-point committee.
Many talented riders and horses have graduated from the Limerick Foxhounds point-to-point both when racing on the past venues and presently at Rathcannon.
The track itself is a left-handed course and has been in operation since 2008.
Our race meeting is situated just 40 minutes from Limerick city and just half an hour from the scenic town of Adare, making a trip to Rathcannon point-to-point part of a perfect Family Sunday.

Preview
MOUNTQUHANIE came from off the pace to finish a respectable third at Tullaherin in April, with the performance having been boosted by a recent maiden winner coming from those that finished behind him. That should see him set the standard for this. Signoffonthat has plenty of options this weekend, having been entered in all three fixtures, and if taking up this engagement, he would look the main danger, whilst Mahon Bridge could not be discounted after his debut second in Ballindenisk, particularly as he hails from a stable in flying form.

Preview
Colin Bowe has saddled eight winners across the past two weekends of point-to-point action, and the former champion handler has no fewer than six possible contenders for this, including PRESIDENTIAL ORDER. The Blue Bresil gelding got no further than the first in Tattersalls last Sunday, but he had been sent off as the favourite. Stablemate Arthurs Well was only beaten four lengths on his debut in Loughrea when the stable second string on jockey bookings. Away from the Milestone Stables half-dozen, Faith Formation still held claims when falling in Umma House, whilst Pleasure Of Love and Secret Order were both placed last time.

MISS TIPP was only denied by a head when making her debut in Umma House a fortnight ago, and with this race not looking any stronger than that contest, she should be able to go one place better. Unfastened ended last season on a positive note with a PB performance in Ballindenisk, whilst the sole newcomer, Top Of The Deck, is a half- sister to the eight-timer track winner Johnsons Blue, and this could be a race that she can get involved in.

Preview
The 91-rated hurdler GAOITHE GLORY could be suited by the switch to point-to-point action for what will also be his initial outing for a new stable, having switched stables since pulling up on chase debut at Roscommon in August. Derby Rock has a lower 78 mark over hurdles, but he has run two fine races since switching to this sphere, most recently finishing second at Umma House, whilst Tea In The Park was only denied by a short head around here on his penultimate start, and should not be too far away.

WHAT PATH was far from disgraced when he finished third behind Lifetime Ambition in Castletown-Geoghegan on his return to action three weeks ago, and with his conqueror having advertised the form last Sunday, that is a timely form boost. Macs Charm ended last season very strongly, whilst Magic Tricks won on his return at Umma House. Meanwhile, North Lodge could be the joker in the pack, as he is a former Grade 2 winner; however, he finished last on his return from a two-year absence in the spring.

Preview
It is hard to look beyond HUNT AWAY for this, as the six-year-old was narrowly denied in consecutive hunter chases at the end of last season, having also finished placed in three opens last season. That is certainly the standout form in this. Sir Topham Hatt also has open form to his name after a creditable effort in that grade in Curraghmore last week, whilst Rongoright won twice last season, including around here in April, and he represents a stable that has already been among the winners in recent weeks.
