Punchestown reports its ground to be Good to Yielding ahead of the seven-race card today that features the Grade 1 John Durkan Chase at 1.35pm.

With Flemenstar ruled out of defending this Grade 1 crown due to being lame, Willie Mullins holds a strong hand with odds-on favourite Arvika Ligeonniere and second favourite Sir Des Champs Rubi Light who won this contest in 2011, completes the three-runner field.

Down in Cork, punters also have seven races to solve. The going is now Soft, Yielding in places following damp conditions over the past two days.

It hosts three graded races. The Grade 3 Kerry Group Stayers Novice Hurdle sees Lots Of Memories installed as favourite over The Job Is Right and Alelchi Inois Twinlight is one of the short priced Willie Mullins horses today as he aims to win the Grade 2 Kerry Group Hilly Way Chase. He has gone odds-on to account for main market rivals Days Hotel and Realt Dubh

Meanwhile, the Grade 3 mares' novice chase at 2.50pm looks a tricky race. Eddie Harty's Dressedtothenines in the JP McManus colours, shades favouritism as she attempts to win over fences for the first time.
