Following a dry night and warmer than expected temperatures yesterday, the ground at Listowel is now yielding, good to yielding in places.

There is 4-5 yards of fresh ground on the Hurdle track; the chase track is the same as Wednesday.

Forecast is for another dry day and night, with rain coming in after racing tonight. Possibility of 5-7mm.

The first of seven races is due off at 2.15, with the Listowel Races Supporters Club Lartigue Hurdle In Memory Of John Molyneaux (Listed Handicap) at 3.25, the feature on the card.

Here, Messerschmitt and Shaboozee currently head the market as 11-2 joint favourites.
