Patrons travelling to the races in Cork this evening are advised to give extra travel time due to road closures and diversions in Buttevant and road works around the Mallow area.

The first of a seven race all National Hunt card gets underway there at 5:55pm, with the last due off at 9:00pm.

The ground remains good to firm there, with watering to take place for a time this morning.
