Thurles bring forward inspection due to unfavourable forecast

THURLES have brought forward their planned inspection and will now assess the track at 9am today ahead of their Thursday fixture.

Officials had initially called a 9am check on the morning of racing but have decided to look earlier due to an unfavourable weather forecast.

The chases at the venue have already been abandoned due to the state of the ground and track officials will take a look to decide whether a card consisting of five hurdles races and a bumper can get the green light.
