Following 9mm of rain overnight, the going at the Curragh is now good to yielding, yielding in places.

Forecast is for further showers with possibility of up to 5mm (approx.) today.

The first race of an eight-race card is due off at 1.20. The Group 2 Romanised Minstrel Stakes is the feature on the afternoon and is due to go to post at 3.40.

Here, the Aidan O'Brien trained Diego Velazquez bids to maintain his unbeaten record on Irish soil. Although yet to win on his travels, the colt is four from four in this country.
