Starting stalls are to be used as normal for the opening 2.05pm race at Limerick today, despite concerns over winds at the track.

A delegation of jockeys along with Turf Club officials went to the start to assess conditions shortly before the first race but a decision has been taken to start as normal from starting stalls.

Later races will be assessed, due to winds, and a decision to use tape-starts may be used later in the day, if necessary.
