Naas is now soft (on hurdle course) and soft to heavy (on chase track) after a dry couple of days.

A dry day is forecast and the first of eight races gets under way with a beginners' chase at 11.30am.

This features a clash between Willie Mullins' Blood Destiny who was last seen finishing runner-up in a Grade 2 juvenile hurdle at Fairyhouse in April, and Henry de Bromhead's Heart Wood who has come home second in a pair of beginners' chases.
