Sunday’s Flat meeting at Naas is in doubt with the County Kildare track currently unfit for racing following 11.2mm of rain in the last 24 hours and an unfavourable forecast.

Naas was hit with 61mm of rain last week and a further 20-25mm is predicted prior to Sunday’s scheduled meeting.

Some changes to the card have already been made after the sprint course was deemed unfit for racing following heavy rain and some remedial work carried out over the winter.

HRI have announced two extra races on the round course both over seven furlongs due to the cancellation of three races on the sprint track.

The King Of Change At Compass Stallions Handicap is a three-year-old handicap for horses rated 47-70, while the NSL Investments Handicap is for four-year-olds and upwards rated 47-65.
