Officials at the Meath venue were left with no choice but to draw stumps after another night of heavy rain.

Cliff Noone, Irish Turf Club press officer, said: “There was a good drop of rain overnight, unfortunately, and the meeting is off.

“I’m sure they’ll probably try to get the meeting rescheduled next week.”
