Track officials report that the going has eased to good ahead of the flat meeting at Fairyhouse tonight.

Following 1mm of rain and watering on course, the ground has changed from good to firm.

The first of an eight race card is due to get underway at the County Meath venue at 4.55.

The feature race, the La Bucca Restaurants Handicap is timed for 7.30. Ice Cold In Alex has been priced up as favourite following a big run at the Curragh last time.

He faces strong opposition from the likes of Punk Poet Ferrybank and Verhoyen
