Going updates Downpatrick are first into action this afternoon, on a day with two meetings, and their 7-race jumps card is set to begin at 1.50. The going at the County Down venue is described as good with a cool dry weather forecast. Meanwhile at Cork for the Flat fare (4.35 beginning) there's good ground with 7 races down for decision. There's also a National Hunt card at the Mallow venue tomorrow and it's good too ahead of that programme, with watering taking place. In Cork a dry day is anticipated for Friday, with rain overnight clearing to scattered showers tomorrow.
