Ian McCarthy's Fountain House is set for Punchestown next week in his bid for a four-timer.

The seven-year-old gelding has been in terrific form this year in clocking up victories in point-to-points at Punchestown and Dromahane which sandwiched a maiden hunters chase success at Thurles.

He also landed three point-to-points between October and November last year.

McCarthy said: "Fountain House is in super order and we're going for the Bishopscourt Cup with him. He loves Punchestown and it should be a tight competitive race.

"He loves good ground and I'm sure they'll have a lovely job done with the ground.

"There are loads of options for him after Punchestown and he could also travel to Stratford in June."
