Watering will continue at Bellewstown this morning as the three-day Festival meeting concludes with an all National Hunt card later today.

The Fast Shipping Bellewstown Handicap Hurdle is the highlight on a seven-race card beginning at 4.50pm, and Rawnaq heads the weights in this 15-runner 2m1f event.

There was 1.5mm of rain overnight, and the going is currently described as good to firm.

Limerick also hosts a jumping card tomorrow and the ground is now good, good to firm in places following 3mm of rain overnight. Watering will continue.

The Group 3 Irish Stallion Farms EBF Brownstown Stakes is the feature on a flat card at Fairyhouse tomorrow. The going remains good to firm at the Co. Meath venue despite 2mm of rain overnight.

Officials will monitor the weather with a dry forecast today but heavy, thundery showers expected tomorrow.

Looking ahead Roscommon, which hosts action on Monday and Tuesday next week, is currently good to firm after 3mm of rain overnight.

The National Hunt track is situated 12 yards out from the flat track, and will be watered today and then monitored.
