The ground conditions at Punchestown today are very similar after the Co Kildare track escaped most of the heavy showers in the past 24 hours.

There was 2mm of rain overnight with nothing of significance since, although conditions are currently blustery and overcast with the threat of an odd shower.

The hurdle and bumper course is again good, while the chase course is marginally changed at yielding (good to yielding in places).
