All systems go for spectacular Fairyhouse card

FAIRYHOUSE was yesterday passed fit for racing and is set to house a spectacular programme tomorrow.

This meeting was already home to three Grade 1 races, the Hatton's Grace Hurdle, Drinmore Novice Chase and Royal Bond Novice Hurdle, but has been strengthened even further by the inclusion of two more graded contests.

The Grade 1 John Durkan Chase was due to be run at Punchestown today, but that meeting was again cancelled yesterday morning.
