Two meetings in Ireland today and the going at Thurles is now described as yielding to soft with a mainly dry weather forecast for County Tipperary.

The Grade Three Pierce Molony Memorial Novice Chase headlines the 7-race programme (2.15 start). That two and a quarter miler is down for decision at 4.00 and Felix Desjy is the favourite under Gold Cup hero Jack Kennedy.

Meanwhile at Wexford for their point-to-point bumper day the ground is now given as yielding, soft in places.

Again dry conditions are expected in the south east and Bettyville's seven race card is set to begin at 1.20.
