The biggest race on the Kilbeggan calendar now has graded status.
It's the biggest day of the year at Kilbeggan Racecourse.
The AXA Farm Insurance Midlands National takes place tonight with an even greater profile after it was recently upgraded to a Grade B race.
14 horses are in the field, with a purse of €100,000 up for grabs.
That one goes to post at 7.50pm, with the racing starting at 5.20pm.
MC at Kilbeggan Races, Brian Gavin, explains why the greater profile of the Midlands National is important:
