Following a request from the Kilbeggan Racecourse Committee, the two-day Kilbeggan fixture scheduled for Thursday, April 25 and Friday, April 26, will not take place.

Consequently, Horse Racing Ireland has today announced two alterations to the fixture list.

Wexford will now take place on Thursday evening, April 25. This meeting closes for entries by 12 noon this Thursday, April 18 with declarations to run to be made by 10am on Tuesday, April 23. This meeting replaces the Wexford meeting from April 5 which was postponed due to the weather.

Downpatrick will now take place on Friday evening, April 26. This meeting, which features The Randox Ulster National Handicap Steeplechase, will close for entries next Monday, April 22 with declarations to run to be made by 10am on Wednesday, April 24. This meeting replaces the Downpatrick meeting which was cancelled on Sunday, April 7.
