Following further watering overnight the going remains unchanged at good (good to firm in places) at Punchestown where Don Cossack makes his eagerly awaited seasonal debut in the Irish Daily Star Chase.

There are two Grade 3 events on the seven-race card beginning at 2.15, with Gigginstown also holding strong claims with The Game Changer in the Buck House Novice Chase.

Racing takes place tomorrow on the Polytrack at Dundalk and also a jumps card at Downpatrick, where watering has maintained the going as good.

Cork hosts a two-day weekend fixture, and the ground is currently described as soft (yielding in places) on both the round and straight flat tracks.

The hurdle track at Cork is good (good to yielding in places), while the chase course is good to yielding.
