Fairyhouse and Carlisle pass Sunday morning inspections - Leicester and Southwell called off

A top-class Sunday card at Fairyhouse goes ahead after the track passed an inspection and the threat of dense fog has cleared.

The track anticipated frost overnight but it did not materialise and conditions are raceable for the fixture which features three Grade 1 contests including the Bar One Racing Hatton's Grace Hurdle (2.35).

Clerk of the course Brendan Sheridan said: "There are frost covers here and thankfully the frost didn't set in overnight. We don't envisage any more problems.

"The track is currently raceable. The ground on both tracks is soft, we've got a completely fresh hurdles and bumper track and have seven to eight yards of fresh ground on the chase track."

Racing at Carlisle was also given the green light on Sunday morning as the forecast snow failed to materialise.

Leicester failed its inspection due to two inches of snow on the track, while Southwell was also called off because of snow on the course and in the surrounding area.

Meanwhile, the fixture at Ayr on Monday has been cancelled due the track being frozen.
