The ground at Cork remains soft to heavy for today's seven race card which is due to get underway at 3.05. The weather forecast is for dry and mild conditions. Velocity Boy who performed with credit for Willie Murphy when second at Navan yesterday, is out of the 8/1 Willie Mullins To Train A Cheltenham Winner At Coral.ie Hurdle.

That is down to a 4-runner affair now as Velocity Boy is reported to be stiff and sore.
