The ground in Punchestown is Yielding to Soft (on chase course) and Yielding (on hurdle/bumper tracks).

Fresh ground will be in use on both tracks - the inside straight will be used on the first circuit, finishing on the main straight.

There was a slight overnight frost and a mainly dry day is expected.

The first of eight races is off at 11.55am. Envoi Allen heads the market for a fascinating Grade 1 John Durkan at 2pm.

After 5mm of rain since declarations, Cork remains Soft.

Again, there was a slight overnight frost and a dry day is forecast.

The eight-race card gets under way at 11.40am. The exciting Energumene makes his seasonal reappearance in the Grade 2 Hilly Way at 2.20pm.
