Inspection called at Cork

Irish Turf Club officials will stage a 3pm inspection at Cork on Saturday ahead of their scheduled Sunday fixture.

The chase course is currently frozen, while the hurdle and bumper track is also frozen in places.

Turf Club press officer Cliff Noone said: “The forecast is good and temperatures are set to rise, but they are obviously a bit concerned with the track currently frozen in places.

“They just want to make sure that everything is order, but they’re positive enough.”
