IRISH SET TO MISS AINTREE The Government has reiterated its call for horses and racegoers not to travel to Britain until 30 days after the last outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease there. That would mean there being no Irish participation at the three-day Martell Grand National meeting which starts on April 5th.Ministry of Agriculture press officer Paul Savage said: 'All along we have asked for people not to travel to Cheltenham and for racing generally in England. 'That has been our advice since the start of the outbreak and that has not changed.'
