There was some competitive fare on offer at the well-attended Carrigtwohill and Pigeon Hill point-to-point fixture at Ballyvodock yesterday and the Paul Cashman-trained Arctic Destination appears to hold a particularly bright future judged by his authoritative success in the opening five-year-old geldings’ maiden.

There were some impressive performances at yesterday’s well-attended West Waterford Foxhounds point-to-point meeting at Boulta and the star of the show was undoubtedly John O’Connor from Kanturk who partnered a double.
