Punchestown goes ahead

Punchestown were given the all clear to race after a third look at the track just before 11am.

Following a course inspection this morning the track was found to be unfit for racing due to frost.

A further inspection at 10am proved inconclusive but a third look revealed that the track was raceable after temperatures rose enough to thaw out the track.
