WET weather has out today's meeting at Tipperary in jeopardy. It must pass a 7.0 a.m. inspection due to heavy rain and some waterlogging.
The sole race over fences in the card has already been abandoned as the chase course is unraceable, with the two year old maiden divided to fill the gap on the programme.
The Australian/Irish jump Jockeys challenge has been switched to the handicap hurdle for which 11 have been declared.
Yesterday's challenge race at Navan was won by an Irish Jockey who was not on the home side and this afternoon's race may see a repeat. Allatrim, beaten five and a half lengths by Father Rector at Listowel, is fancied to go one better for trainer Edward O'Grady.
Velvet Appeal, fourth of nine behind Bianca Nera in the Group One Moyglare Stud Stakes, is entitled to break her duck in the Moonee Valley Maiden, while Draft Of Vintage can rise again for owner Charlie Haughey in the Fleminton Race.
