Full N.H. programme today

At last a full jumps programme today, with N.H. racing in the U.K. at Newbury and Bangor, and a star-spangled card at Fairyhouse in Ireland. This card, already postponed 3 times, now looks very likely to go ahead, and all 8 races are graded events, including two transferred from other abandoned meetings at Punchestown and Cork. This is by far the best Irish card of the season so far. However the rest of the weather news is not so good, as frost and snow are expected to hit many parts again tomorrow, so that the weekend´s meetings, both in Ireland and the U.K., could be in doubt.
