Though hardly a surprise, regrettably today’s Irish racing at Navan has been abandonned due to a frozen track.

As if sport hasn’t been thrown into chaos enough owing to the dastardly Covid-19, the weather is now throwing its iron into the fire to disrupt matters just a little bit more.

The Willie Mullins-trained Lord Royal would’ve the star turn on the card though, in the latest attempt to get his chasing career off the ground.
