FAIRYHOUSE’S four-day Easter meeting is due to get going on Sunday as planned after the course passed a 2pm inspection yesterday.

The track had improved over the previous 24 hours and a dry day yesterday means it is now fit for racing.

However, due to an adverse weather forecast the situation will be closely monitored over the coming days. The going remains heavy.

The highlight of the four days is Monday’s Powers Whiskey Irish Grand National.
