Soft ground at Gowran The going at Gowran is still described as soft for today's 8-race card which begins at 1.25. The weather forecast is for some showers throughout the day and the highlight on the card at the County Kilkenny venue is the Grade B Holden Plant Rentals Shamrock Handicap Chase. That two and a quarter miler is due off at 3.40 whilst the long-standing and much sought after Mullinavat GAA Club Fundraiser Tetratema Cup Hunters Chase is the penultimate contest at 4.50.
