The ground at Fairyhouse is now soft, heavy in places ahead of this afternoon's meeting.

The going had been described as heavy at declaration for the seven-race Flat card.

The highlight of today's action is the Listed Belgrave Stakes, which has attracted a competitive field including After Arctic and Slade Power

Killarney's festival meeting kicks off tomorrow and the going there is now yielding, soft in places on the national hunt track and soft on the Flat track.

That's an improvement on the previous description of soft to heavy at the Kerry venue.

The weather is to be dry today with rain overnight, clearing later tomorrow.
