The Kerry Group Hilly Way Chase will be run at Navan on Monday following the cancellation of this afternoon's high-profile meeting at Cork due to flooding.
The Mallow circuit was due to stage a seven-race card, including the Grade Two Hilly Way, but the fixture has been lost for a second time, having been cancelled last Sunday due to waterlogging.
Horse Racing Ireland officials have moved quickly to save the feature event, switching it to Navan along with the Grade Three Kerry Group European Breeders Fund Mares Novice Chase to form an eight-race card on Monday.
The same five horses have been declared for the Hilly Way, with Willie Mullins saddling the last two winners of the race in Felix Yonger and Twinlight.
Henry de Bromhead's 2012 scorer Days Hotel, Shark Hanlon's stable star Hidden Cyclone and the Gordon Elliott-trained Bright New Dawn complete the line-up.
