The going at Downpatrick is described as yielding, good to yielding in places.
A dry day is expected for a seven race card set to commence at 1.40.
The Molson Coors Hurdle headlines the programme. Only three are due to compete now as Mister Eddman is a non-runner. Quartz Du Rheu is odds-on for J P McManus, Willie Mullins and Mark Walsh.
Meanwhile eight races on the polytrack at Dundalk will begin at 5.15.
