Going updates Thurles race on Thursday for the second week in a row and, following 10mm of rain since entries, the ground is yielding on the chase course and yielding to soft on the hurdle course. It's set to be mainly dry in the coming days with occasional showers. A revised hurdle layout will be in use on Thursday with three hurdles in the back straight and two in the home straight. Before then, Punchestown stages an eight-race card tomorrow with an early start at 11.45am and the ground is expected to be yielding there. There are two meetings on the polytrack at Dundalk on Wednesday and Friday before the two-day meeting at Fairyhouse next weekend where Sunday's eight-race card has a remarkable 500,000 Euros in total prize-money on offer.
