The ground at Limerick remains heavy ahead of today's card which gets underway at 2.25pm.
There was a light frost at the course overnight and the forecast is for a dry day today and tomorrow, with the track also staging racing on Sunday.
Cheltenham hero Willie Mullins sends just one runner to Limerick today but the record-breaking trainer looks to have leading claims of adding to a monumental week.
Mullins, who registered an unprecedented eight wins at the Cheltenham Festival, is represented by just Kate Appleby Shoes in the concluding Racing Tomorrow (Ladies) Mares Bumper and the mare has solid claims having won last time out at Gowran.
Mullins' final winner at Cheltenham came with Killultagh Vic in the Martin Pipe Conditional Jockeys Handicap Hurdle and his rider then Luke Dempsey is also in action at the venue, with three rides - Silent Wish Tamam Namoose and Dr Zoom
Other Cheltenham winners Davy Russell and Bryan Cooper are in action on the day, while Foxhunter Chase heroine Nina Carberry rides Lady Dromlac in the bumper.
Elsewhere on the seven-race card, Charlie Swan sends his out first runner since retiring as a full-time trainer, with newcomer Vinciaettis in the Mares' Bumper.
The ground at Wexford remains soft ahead of their St Patrick's Day meeting on Tuesday. The forecast is generally dry over the coming days.
