PREVIEW
This preview is for members only...
The great WINGED LEADER created history around here in October when setting a new modern record for the number of point-to-point races won, and he has since added to that with further victories at Kirkistown and Farmacaffley to bring his pointing total to 36 wins. Having won on each of his last six starts here, he would be a popular victor. Hearts And Spades is a potential new rival for the reigning champion. He has won all six starts since joining Ian McCarthy and claimed a notable scalp on his first start in open company at Lisronagh last time, whilst his stablemate Fountain House won at the Punchestown Festival last season and comes into this seeking a hat-trick.
