The ground is yielding, good to yielding in places, on the chase track at Leopardstown ahead of their Christmas Festival.

Entries for the first two days of the meeting close tomorrow.

The ground on the hurdle track is currently a bit easier, described as soft on all lines.

It is set to be generally dry today but turning more unsettled from tomorrow onwards.

There is the potential for 15 to 20mm of rain from Wednesday up to, and including, the weekend.
