This afternoon's meeting at Tipperary goes ahead after the course passed an early morning precautionary inspection held due to the threat of a status Yellow low temperature and ice warning from Met Eireann.
Clerk of the Course Lorcan Wyer gave the meeting the green light at 7.30am with a light dusting of snow still on the course but no frost in the ground as he reports on X below.

The recent easing of ground conditions has signalled the appearance of some high-quality jumpers and Willie Mullins holds a strong hand in both beginners’ chases.
Mirazur West, a full brother to the talented but fragile Ferny Hollow who won Grade 1's both in a bumper and over fences for the champion trainer, is joined by Westport Cove in the 2m event at 3.07.
The powerful Closutton team is also likely to have the first two in the market for the beginners' chase over an extended 2m7f at 3.42 with Sa Majeste joined by Captain Cody.
The first on a seven-race card gets underway at 12.12pm.
