Thurles meeting in doubt
The track is currently unraceable due to frost.
Today's meeting at Navan was abandoned due to frost after an early afternoon inspection yesterday.
Across-channel, meanwhile, officials at Huntingdon are hoping for a milder than expected night in order for today's meeting to go ahead.
The National Hunt fixture hinges on a 7.30am inspection and prospects do not look too bright with clerk of the course Michael Prosser expecting snow and some very cold temperatures overnight.
Today's other National Hunt fixture at Hexham has already been abandoned due to frost but no problems are envisaged on the all-weather at Lingfield.
Prospects for tomorrow's meetings at Warwick and Plumpton are looking a little brighter with both escaping the frost last night.
A very chilly night is expected at Warwick but racecourse manager Christian Leech expects conditions to be less harsh tonight.
He said: "We are monitoring the situation on an hourly basis. The forecast last night was wrong, we didn't have any frost and could have raced today.
"The forecast for tonight is for temperatures to get down to about minus three and then to get up to just plus one or two degrees tomorrow.
"It's supposed to be a bit better tomorrow night so we are in the lap of the gods now really."
Geoff Stickels, clerk of the course at Plumpton, also issued an upbeat bulletin on the prospects in East Sussex.
"It depends when the weather comes down now, the forecast is not giving us much perhaps there may be a frost tomorrow morning and it might fall to minus two.We could race today, though, and we will just have to see what tomorrow brings."
