With the track already unraceable and more unsettled weather expected, the Irish Turf Club announced a 3pm inspection of the track for this afternoon.

However, the seven-race card – due to feature the Listed At The Races Chase – was called off earlier than planned.

Horse Racing Ireland announced the fixture will be rescheduled for Sunday, January 10th.

Fresh entries will close at noon on January 5th, with declarations to run to be made by 10am on January 8th.
