Having had 3mm of rain in total during Saturday's meeting and overnight, the gound remains Good on all courses at Galway (Flat and N.H.) ahead of the seventh and final day of the Festival on Sunday.

The Hurdle and Chase tracks will be positioned on the outer line, with the Flat and Bumper tracks using the inner line.

The latest weather forecast predicts rain developing this morning, and turning heavy during racing with up to 20mm expected.

The first of an eight-race card goes to post at 2.15pm with the featured Irish Stallion Farms EBF Ahonoora Handicap due off at 3.55.

Bank Holiday Monday sees racing taking place at Cork and Naas.

Cork's ground for a National Hunt card is described as Good to Yielding after 1mm of overnight rain. The forecast is for heavy rain today, and possible showers tomorrow.

Naas has largely missed any rain thus far, and the ground is Good to Firm for a Flat meeting there. Selective watering is taking place, and there is a risk of showers today and tomorrow.
