Monday’s meeting at Roscommon has been cancelled due to a waterlogged track.

The venue was due to host a mixed card featuring the Grade Three Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders Fund Kilbegnet Novice Chase.

However, parts of the course are reported to be waterlogged following 20 millimetres of rain and with further rain forecast, officials feel there is little chance of the track being fit for action.
