Thurles inspect

Thursday’s meeting at Thurles must pass a precautionary 8am inspection tomorrow morning.

Course officials abandoned the chase races on the card on Tuesday but the hurdles-only fixture is now under a cloud.

“They are raceable at present – the ground is heavy – but there is a bad forecast for further heavy rain,” said Irish Turf Club press officer, Cliff Noone.

“With that in mind, they have decided to be cautious and call a precautionary inspection.”
