Ground eases for Derby Trial The ground has eased at Leopardstown ahead of Sunday's meeting which is set to feature the Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial. The going had been firm this week but after 4mm of rain overnight the description is now good to yielding, yielding in places. The Derby Trial is set to feature a clash between Ballysax winner Battle Of Marengo and unbeaten Group 1 Criterium winner Loch Garman. There is also the 1,000 Guineas Trial on the card and the Group 3 Amethyst Stakes. It's good at Punchestown for the jumps card tomorrow.
