The going at Fairyhouse is yielding to soft.
The first of seven races is off at 2pm. Willie Mullins has a strong hand in the Grade One Ryanair Gold Cup Steeplechase at 4.15pm as he runs the favourite Outlander Mckinley (in first-time blinkers) and Vedettariat
Meanwhile, there are eight races in Cork today from 2.10pm. The feature is the Grade Three Imperial Call Steeplechase in which Stuart Crawford's Fine Rightly has been chalked up odds on. He was third in the Irish Gold Cup last month before cruising home in Down Royal 10 days ago.
In England, the meeting at Plumpton passed a precautionary inspection at 10am.
Twelve millimetres of overnight rain has left the ground soft, with more showers forecast.
The fixture is Plumpton's richest ever raceday and is due to feature the At The Races Sussex National.
