Fairyhouse has passed its inspection this morning and racing goes ahead today.

Brendan Sheridan, IHRB Clerk of the Course, said: "Following a dry night, I am pleased to report that Fairyhouse is now fit for racing and the fixture scheduled for today goes ahead.

"We are racing on the inside track and the ground is heavy. Temperatures at the moment here are around two degrees and we have a dry forecast for today."

The first of seven races is off at 1.30pm.

Emmet Mullins' Corbetts Cross is odds-on favourite for the Fairyhouse Easter Festival 30th March To 1st April Rated Steeplechase over an extended 3m at 2.30pm.

This seven-year-old gelding landed his beginners' chase in Fairyhouse before finishing runner-up in Grade 1 company at Leopardstown over Christmas.
