Monday's card at Punchestown has been given the green light, following a 7.30am inspection. The meeting was originally scheduled for last Friday but had to be postponed due to rain.

Further wet weather over the weekend put Monday's card in some doubt but clerk of the course Brendan Sheridan confirmed conditions were safe for racing at around 7.45am.

"Following heavy volumes of rain in a short space of time [on Sunday] the track was waterlogged in places but thankfully we had a dry night and the track is now ready for racing," he said. "The ground is now heavy, soft to heavy in places."

Racing starts at 1.30pm and all eight races will be run on the inside track.

A dry morning is forecast "with showers developing from early afternoon." Sheridan added: "There is 5-10ml of rain forecast for later today from around 2pm with possibly heavy showers at times during racing."
