Jack Kennedy cleared for Leopardstown rides as British cards survive inspections

Jack Kennedy has been cleared to ride at Leopardstown where he will partner Morgiana Hurdle winner Abacadabras in the Grade 1 Matheson Hurdle (2.25).

He missed out on riding Delta Work at the track yesterday following a collarbone injury and is excited about his ride in the big race.

Kennedy said: "I've just passed the doctor and got the all clear. I can't wait. I feel great and I'm looking forward to getting back on Abacadabras."

Kennedy has four more rides on the final day at Leopardstown - Fakir D'Alene (12.40), Black Tears (1.15), Conflated (1.50) and Millen To One (3.00).

Conditions at Leopardstown are yielding on the chase course and soft on the hurdle course.

In the feature Grade 1 Matheson Hurdle (2.25), support has come for outsider Coeur Sublime who has been cut to 20-1 (from 28) while Saint Roi heads the betting.

All of Tuesday's fixtures are to go ahead as planned after Kelso and Doncaster passed second inspections, following on from Newbury's green light for its seven-race card featuring the Grade 1 MansionBet Challow Novices' Hurdle (3.15).

Doncaster was forced to have a second inspection at 10am after heavy snowfall hit the course overnight, while Kelso also had to take a second look with frost on the track following freezing overnight conditions.

But all inspections were passed meaning Doncaster, Kelso and Newbury race along with meetings from Leopardstown, Limerick and Southwell.

Tuesday cards

On Monday, Haydock abandoned its meeting on Wednesday following 100mm of snow, while fixtures at Leicester, Fontwell and Chepstow's Welsh National card were also called off in the past few days.

The going at Newbury is currently soft with a cloudy and cold day forecast. Racing begins at 12.20.

At Newbury, the main market mover is The Glancing Queen in the Challow with the Alan King-trained runner now 4-1 (from 5). Django Django 8-1 (from 11) is another worth noting for Ladbrokes Trophy-winning trainer Jonjo O'Neill.
