Following an inspection this morning, Leopardstown is unfit for racing after a further 17mm of rain overnight.

The contingency plan is now applied with today's card transferred to Monday - original declarations will stand. Punchestown's fixture on Monday now moves to Wednesday - original entries stand with declarations to run to be made by 10am on Monday.

There will be an 8am inspection on Sunday to determine if tomorrow's fixture will take place as scheduled.

What appeared to be perfectly fine (ground) yesterday is now unraceable.

Paddy Graffin, Clerk of the Course, added: "Quite a lot of rain overnight and, unfortunately, what appeared to be perfectly fine (ground) yesterday is now unraceable.

"There's a further 2-5mm forecast for the rest of the morning and mainly dry thereafter, and dry all through tomorrow into Monday evening.

"We will have a look in the morning to see about prospects for racing tomorrow but, unfortunately, unfit to race today and racing has been cancelled."
