Going update The going at Punchestown remains heavy ahead of Sunday's Grade 2 meeting. Runners will race on the inside track on the first circuit, finishing on main straight, on Sunday and the forecast is for heavy rain tonight, mainly dry thereafter. Sunday's action at the Co. Kildare venue kicks off with a high class six runner novice chase at 12.50pm featuring the unbeaten Envoi Allen. Gordon Elliott's charge must concede 11lbs to each of his rivals in what appears his toughest assignment to date. At Fairyhouse, which races on Saturday, the ground is also heavy. The action at the Co. Meath track starts at 12 noon.
