After 25mm of rain overnight, Leopardstown is now soft to heavy on the hurdle/bumper tracks and soft on the chase course ahead of day two of the Christmas Festival.

Today's action gets under way at 12.05pm.

Martin Brassil holds a strong hand in the Paddy Power Steeplechase (3pm) with Panda Boy in first-time cheekpieces, and hat-trick-seeking Desertmore House up at the head of the market.
