Leopardstown, which is due to host racing both tomorrow and on Monday, remains unfit for racing with some snow still lying on parts of the track.

Officials held an inspection at 8am this morning and will have a further look at the south County Dublin venue at 3pm this afternoon.

Clerk of the Course Lorcan Wyer said, “The track at Leopardstown remains unfit for racing at present due to snow still lying in some areas.

“However, there has been improvement since yesterday and further thaw is expected today so we will have a further inspection at 3pm this afternoon.

“The forecast for today and tomorrow is mainly dry and bright with temperatures around 8C.

“Where the track is raceable, the ground is heavy on the hurdle track and soft, soft to heavy in places, on the chase track following 23mm of rain in the last 24 hours.”
