Unsettled weather forecast this week

The unseasonably mild weather enjoyed so far this winter looks set to change this week with freezing temperatures forecast from Tuesday night onwards.

However the very wet spell experienced over the weekend is the chief concern for officials at Fairyhouse at present after 30mm of rain left the course unraceable this morning.

The Co. Meath track is not scheduled to race until next Saturday, so the situation will be monitored during the week.

Before that, racing takes place this week at Down Royal on Wednesday, where the going is currently heavy following 12mm of rain over the weekend.

Clonmel hosts a jumps meeting on Thursday followed by the regular Flat fixture on the polytrack at Dundalk on Friday evening.
