Going updates The ground at Punchestown today is now Good to Yielding after 9mm of rain since declarations. A dry day is expected. The first of eight races on the Flat gets under way at 1.25pm. Races two and three will now be run over 8f. Galway-winner Maristella is a notable non-runner in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Handicap at 4.20pm. Natalia Lupini's Alma Libre, who was beaten by a head in an apprentice handicap at Naas last month, shades favouritism. Meanwhile, the ground in Naas is Yielding, Yielding to Soft in places ahead of Thursday's card. Again, there is a dry forecast.
