Fairyhouse gets the green light to race

Following an inspection this morning, the track at Fairyhouse was found to be fit for racing and the fixture scheduled to take place on Saturday afternoon will go ahead.

With the temperature now well above zero, all tracks at the Co Meath venue are reaceable, with the first of today's eight-race card due off at midday.

After 0.5mm of rain overnight, the ground on the chase track remains soft and the hurdle track is now yielding to soft, soft in places.
