Officials will inspect the track at Leopardstown on 2.30pm on Friday following another night of heavy rain which has left parts of the track unraceable.

Leopardstown is due to host the two-day Dublin Racing Festival on Saturday and Sunday. The track was waterlogged in places on Tuesday but the ground recovered remarkably quickly following a dry 24 hours. By Thursday morning the chase track was officially described as yielding to soft.

However, on Friday morning the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board posted on social media that, following a further 22mm of rain in the last 24 hours - which brought the total rainfall to 193mm in 14 days - the going was now soft to heavy on the chase track while "parts of the hurdle track are unfit for racing."

Due to the possibility of a further 10-20mm (approximately) into Saturday, an inspection has been scheduled for 2.30pm on Friday.
