To the frustration of many in Ireland, Thurles has once again been forced to abandon on Thursday due to lack of rain and unsuitable ground.
Elsewhere, four meetings take place in the UK so we take a look at the chances of our top five tracked horses.
This is the top 5 Tracked Runners in action today from the 190,000 tracked horses on irishracing.com
Bread And Butter (IRE) 2.40 Market Rasen Handicap Hurdle 2m. 4f. 139yds.
Bread And Butter is officially 6lb well-in after a Hereford victory ten days ago in a conditional jockeys' race, and is around 13/8 favourite for trainer Olly Murphy. Lewis Saunders is back on board.
Morandi Second (FR) 3.00 Sedgefield Handicap Hurdle 2m. 3f. 188yds.
Won an apprentice handicap last month at Catterick on the Flat and comes here in good form for trainer Patrick Neville. Looks to be on a good mark at 4-1.
Riot (IRE) 6.00 Chelmsford City Betfair Racing Podcasts Handicap 7f
Has struck three times over course and distance, including landing this contest last year. Won a 7f handicap at Doncaster in June and was last seen finishing fifth at Wolverhampton 24 days ago over today’s trip. Around the 9-1 mark.
Montregard (FR) 1.30 Market Rasen Novices' Handicap Chase 2m. 7f. 191yds
Returned a losing favourite at Wetherby on his chasing bow but should be wiser for that run. Very well fancied for Tom Lacey and JP McManus in this three-runner contest.
Ultramarine (IRE) 6.00 Chelmsford City Betfair Racing Podcasts Handicap 7f
Takes on Riot, continues to run with credit and he looks sure to mount another stern challenge. Recorded a win and two seconds on his last three starts and comes here in flying form at 5-1.
