Navan cancelled The fixture at Navan has been cancelled today as the track is unfit for racing due to a covering of snow. The meeting was set to stage the Webster Cup Chase with the scheduled reappearance of Willie Mullins' exciting Great Field and the progressive Doctor Phoenix. There was also the Grade Three Flyingbolt Novice Chase, a competitive handicap chase and a Listed novice hurdle. However, just before 8.30am the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board announced that: "Following a course inspection at Navan, the course was found to be unfit for racing due to a covering of snow. As a consequence the fixture scheduled for today, Sunday, 18th March, has been cancelled." Elsewhere, racing goes ahead at Limerick where the ground remains heavy. There has been no rain or snow since Friday. A mainly dry day is expected. The card gets underway at 2pm. Meanwhile, there is a light covering of snow in Clonmel and the situation is being monitored ahead of racing on Tuesday. The going remains heavy.
