The going remains good to firm at the Curragh ahead of today's Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby.
Staff at the Curragh again watered the track overnight, and selective watering continues due to the current hot and dry spell.
The forecast is to remain dry and warm for the weekend with temperatures expected to reach about 25C.
A total of 12 horses, including Qipco 2000 Guineas winner Saxon Warrior and Investec Derby runner-up Dee Ex Bee go to post for the 1.5 million feature at 5.15pm.
The eight-race card gets underway at 1.40pm, with other highlights including the GAIN Railway Stakes and the Tote Rockingham Handicap.
