Adverse forecast forces Clonmel to have early check ahead of Thursday card

There will be a 7.30am inspection at Clonmel ahead of the fixture scheduled for Thursday afternoon.

The track is currently fit for racing but with 15mm of rain forecast officials have opted to inspect. The first of a seven-race card is due off at 12.15pm.

Lorcan Wyer, Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board clerk of the course said: "The ground at Clonmel remains heavy and is fit for racing at present following a further 3mm of rain since declarations yesterday. There is a Status Yellow wind and rain warning currently in place for Munster and having spoken with Met Éireann this morning there is approximately a further 15mm of rain forecast later today.

"We will inspect the track at 7.30am tomorrow morning to determine if racing can go ahead."
