Thursday's cancelled Clonmel meeting has been rescheduled for next week.

An 8am inspection was called for Wednesday as parts of the track were unfit for racing following recent heavy rain, and a further six millimetres overnight left officials with an easy decision to make.

A statement from the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board read: "The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board has announced that, following a course inspection at Clonmel today, Wednesday, 14th February, the course was found to be unfit for racing. As a consequence the fixture scheduled for Thursday, 15th February has been cancelled."

They will try again on Tuesday, with f resh entries for what will now be a seven-race card closing at noon on Thursday. Declarations to run must be made by 10am on Monday.
