Everything you need to know as Carlisle passes inspection
The abandonment of the meeting at Ffos Las leaves Carlisle as the only British card on Sunday.
Though light on numbers, there is some intriguing contests to enjoy headlined by the 3m Aglionby Veterans' Handicap Chase (3.50). The 12-year-old Houblon Des Obeaux won the the final of the veterans' chase series at Sandown in January and holds strong claims here after running well behind Carole's Destrier at Newbury last time.
The only graded action of the day comes from Limerick in a Grade 2 mares' novice chase (4.15), while Wexford hosts a seven-race card.

Final thought
Talented mare Missy Tata side-stepped a mares' hurdle engagement at the Cheltenham Festival, with trainer Gordon Elliott keen to develop her fledgling chasing career. The seven-year-old is unbeaten in six starts going back to April 2016 and looks the pick of the field in the Grade 2 contest at Limerick.
