A significant rise in temperatures over the past 24 hours came just in time for today’s meeting at Fairyhouse and has also proved good news for Punchestown which hosts racing both on Sunday and Monday.

The County Kildare track is now fit for racing following 1mm of rain overnight and rising temperatures.

The going is currently described as Soft, Soft to Heavy in places, with a mainly dry forecast.

The Willie Mullins-trained Salvator Mundi will hope to justify his position at the head of the market for the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle at Cheltenham when facing five rivals in the Grade 2 Sky Bet Club Moscow Flyer Novice Hurdle.

Sunday’s card also includes the Grade 3 Sky Bet, For The Fans Novice Chase.

The inside track will be used on the first circuit of the hurdle course finishing on the main straight, while the chase and hurdle races will now finish on separate lines.
