Going update & Ludlow off The going at Thurles is soft to heavy, soft in places, ahead of tomorrow's meeting which features the Grade 2 ATR Michael Purcell Memorial Novice Hurdle. Just five have been declared for the two and a half miles test, with Gigginstown represented by Nambour, the choice of Bryan Cooper, and Road To Respect. Aidan O'Brien sends out Naas maiden winner Edwulf, while Our Duke and Acapella Bourgeois complete the line-up. The weather forecast is to remain dry and cold both today and tomorrow. Following a second inspection, today's meeting at Ludlow has been abandoned due to frost.
