The ground is good, good to firm in placings at Leopardstown ahead of the Irish Champion Stakes on Saturday.

Watering will take place on Wednesday at the Dublin track with no significant rain forecast. Officials will then reassess conditions before deciding on further watering.

Watering commenced at the Curragh yesterday ahead of Sunday's card, which features four Group 1 races.

The ground is currently good on both tracks with the forecast dry for the week and temperatures set to be in the mid 20s.

Today is the entry and forfeit stages for both cards.
