Affordale Fury, ridden by Sam Ewing, wins the Savills Chase

Latest news on racing inspections and abandonments


Conditions are set to remain testing for Leopardstown on Monday as the Dublin Racing Festival concludes.

Torrential rain through the week saw Saturday's meeting postponed to Monday, with Sunday's action taking place as originally scheduled.

Heavy going is expected for Monday's seven-race card, featuring the Paddy Power Irish Gold Cup due off at 15:30.

Paddy Griffin, IHRB clerk of the course, said: "We're moving into a completely fresh hurdle track, with 12 yards of fresh ground.

"The going will remain heavy, similarly to today, in terms of it being loose and sloppy, and that'll be a benefit to everyone.

"We're moving into a fresh section for the chase track, and the bends will move, so we'll have two completely fresh tracks. It's soft on the chase track."

He added: "We've had a dry day today, and that will continue overnight and into tomorrow."
