Red Mills Chase moved to Navan

The Red Mills Chase will now be run at Navan on Sunday after Gowran Park was forced to abandon its races over fences tomorrow because the chase track is waterlogged.

Officials have moved quickly to safeguard the fixture by dividing one of the hurdle races and a bumper.

Robbie Hennessy’s Rubi Light has won the Red Mills Chase for the last two years and will still bid for the hat-trick.

Hennessy said: “He’ll definitely still run. Navan is only about 20 minutes away from us and I’m just delighted they’ve rescheduled it.

“The race fits in perfectly timing-wise – if they’d rescheduled it for later we probably wouldn’t have run.

“The horse is in great form and we look forward to Sunday now.”
