Following a dry night on Saturday, the ground remains soft on the national hunt course and soft, soft to heavy in places on the flat course for the final day of the 2022 festival.

The first of an eight race card gets underway at 2.00, with the finale, the Fr Breen Memorial, set to go to post at 5.40.

The feature race on day seven is once again the Ahonoora Handicap(4.10) in which the Ado McGuinness trained Current Option bids for a third success.
