Action at Leopardstown will now start at the later time of 12.55pm after the first race on the card was postponed due to frost on the chase course.

Officials are hoping to now run the Martinstown Opportunity Handicap Chase as the seventh race, half an hour after the bumper.

The chase course will be monitored throughout the day.

Acting Clerk Of The Course Brendan Sheridan said: "We will monitor the chase course throughout the day. We will have five races and hopefully seven."
