Winner of a point-to-point at Loughbrickland (soft) on debut last month and in front when falling mid-race at Largy in a winners event subsequently. Interesting runner today.
Pulled on first two outings earlier this year but good ground appears to have suited him in winning his last two point-to-points. Most recent of those came at Dromahane in a four runner event last month and an interesting contender in this.
Off the mark when successful on debut at Dungarvan on yielding-to-soft ground in January. Represents leading connections here and likely to run well if handling the drop back in trip.
Easy 30L winner of a maiden at Bandon (heavy) in February. Finished fourth in a point-to-point bumper over 2m3f at Cork (good) last month and likely to run his race once more.
Impressive winner of his maiden when debuting at Borris House (yielding) in December. Sent off odds-on when finishing 3¾L third at Cork (good) in a point-to-point bumper over 2m3f last month and likely to run well for a top stable once more.
Pulled up on his first two outings in point-to-points and beaten over 36L when third at Lisronagh (yielding) last month. Drop in trip looks likely to suit.
Winner of one of his 23 starts in point-to-points. That victory came at Lourghrea (heavy) in October and he looks likely to struggle here.
Finished a distant second at Bandon (heavy) in February and off the mark at the third time of asking at Dromahane (soft) the following month. Interesting runner in a tongue tie today.
Winner of a maiden at Curraghamore (good) on his penultimate point-to-point outing. Pulled up subsequently and looks likely to find a few too good in this.
Winner at Belharbour (yielding) in February and put a disappointing run at Dromahane behind him when finishing runner-up in a point-to-point bumper at Cork over 2m3f last time out. Likely to run well with a leading jockey booked to ride today.
Finished 5½L third when making his debut in a nine runner point-to-point at Belclare a month ago. Receives weight from all his rivals today and an interesting runner in this.

Fabulous Saga (2/1), Smithscorner (9/2), Celtic Rising (5/1), Danse Away (8/1), Blue Mountain Boy (8/1), Kildownet (8/1), Benefit North (14/1), Friary Gold (25/1), Knocknacassa King (25/1), Rough Night (25/1), Duhallow Lad (33/1), Heez All Talk (66/1)
BLUE MOUNTAIN BOY has won his last two outings in point-to-points including at Dromahane last time out. The selection hails from a yard with an 18% strike-rate (6/33) in bumper events and he can make a winning debut at the chief expense of Fabulous Saga who disappointed when beaten at Cork last month with Celtic Rising taken to finish third on his first outing for his current connections while Cork fourth Danse Away is another to note in this.
