The feature race on the card was the listed Racing TV Black Friday Offer Chase and only two of the five declared runners went to post for his one, and one of those, Fil Dor, was sent off at odds of 1-40.

Thursday's card in Thurles was decimated by non-runners, mostly due to the ground, which was officially described as good, but all meetings seem to come alike to Darragh O’Keeffe, who recorded another double to bring his season’s tally to 46 and push him six clear of nearest rival Sam Ewing in the jockeys’ championship.

Significantly, champion trainer Willie Mullins withdrew nine of his 10 declared runners on the card.
