Day three of the Punchestown Festival takes place today with a further two Grade 1 prizes up for grabs, and Hurricane Fly and Jezki are set to renew rivalry once again but for the first time over three miles in the Ladbrokes World Series Hurdle.
Following a colossal hailstone shower before racing yesterday, the going is currently described as yielding on both the hurdle and chase courses.
The iconic FBD Cross Country Chase for the La Touche Cup is also on today's eight race card, and the going on the banks course is described as good.
The action again commences at 3.40pm, with the Ladbrokes World Series Hurdle at 5.30pm and the Grade 1 Ryanair Novice Chase at 6.40pm.
