Inspection at Punchestown on Wednesday morning

Following 36mm of rain since entries on Thursday, the ground at Punchestown is heavy.

As parts of the track are waterlogged, there will be a 7.30am inspection on Wednesday morning ahead of the scheduled meeting that afternoon.

The inside track is being used with races finishing on the inside track as well.

Clerk of the course Brendan Sheridan is hopeful that conditions will improve enough over the next couple of days for the meeting to take place.
