FormscanBy Michael Graham - BALLYPHILIP is going great guns in winning his last four point-to-points for Caroline McCaldin. Noel McParlan has struck up a good association with the six-year-old gelding who looks the one to beat in this hunters chase. Bold Fury gets a hood and a tongue-strap after falling when clear in a Loughanmore point-to-point. He was second to Ballyphilip on penultimate start in Loughanmore, though. Big Girl Betty is a lightly-raced sort who got off the mark in a Tyrella point-to-point in January. There could be more to come from her, but she wouldn't want much rain. Victor Tango, well beaten by Ballyphilip in a Portrush point-to-point, has a place chance for Noel Kelly.
