Ground eases at
Limerick and
Leopardstown

THE need for watering at Leopardstown appeared to recede following a wet night on Tuesday which saw 18mls of rain fall on the Dublin track. Clerk of the course Lorcan Wyer said on Wednesday morning: “It’s yielding on the chase course, and yielding to soft on the hurdle track we are using for the first two days. It’s soft on the inside tracks for days three and four. There is the potential for another five to 10mls of rain before racing starts and the forecast is unsettled thereafter.”
