Following 6mm of rain since Friday, the going at Thurles remains soft ahead of today's card.

Mainly dry conditions with sunny spells are expected at the County Tipperary venue.

A seven race card begins at 12.30 and the Listed Irish Stallion Farms EBF Boreen Belle Mares Novice Hurdle takes centre-stage at 2.00.

The Mick Winters-trained Sayce Gold and Willie Mullins' course and distance winner Gauloise will justifiably capture much of the attention ahead of what promises to be a very informative two miler.
