The going at Leopardstown is good ahead of this evenings meeting.

Forecast is for a dry and warm day. Racing 10yds from innermost Flat racing line.

Racing gets underway at 4.45 with the Irish EBF Auction Series Race. Naas Barrier Trial winner Battle of Maldon heads the market here at 11/4 for the Gordon Elliott stable.

Elsewhere, the BoyleSports Smart Racecard Rated Race(6.28) looks a nice opportunity for the Aidan O'Brien trained Mississippi River to get back to winning ways.
