Going report: Turf club inspection 1 June: good to yielding. Overnight rain since has probably softened the ground further. Watering will continue if it is required.

Race course
Kinsale is a left-handed track with five fences, which has matured nicely since the Festival moved to the Farrangalway site in 2007.

Running well...
The first of two fences in the back straight is taken on the level, but the second last is taken at the start of a rapid descent into a hollow.
