Irish Previews:Today's meeting at Cork will have to pass a 7.30am inspection if it is to go ahead.

The seven-race card is under threat after heavy rain left the chase course unraceable.

However, the hurdles and bumper track is raceable with the ground described as soft to heavy.

The steeplechase course is currently unraceable due to waterlogging. Should that remain the case following this morning's inspection, the two steeplechases will be abandoned and the programme reduced to five races (four hurdle races and a bumper) with a 2pm start time.

If racing gets the go-ahead the best bet on the card may be Munster Pride. Austin Leahy's five-year-old was still in contention when falling three out in a Thurles maiden on his hurdles bow.

Willie Mullins is in great form and his Capel Lad is likely to prove the danger.

Davy Russell is flying high in the jumps jopckeys' title race and he can add to his impressive tally with victory on The Budgee in the feature event on the card, the McCarthy Insurance Group Handicap Chase.

Michael Hourigan's charge landed his first success over fences at Limerick and he should appreciate these conditions.

There are no problems at Naas where No Full, a creditable third in the Paddy Power Chase at Leopardstown last week, bids for compensation over the smaller obstacles tomorrow.

Tom Foley has decided to give the seven-year-old his third run in a month in the Woodlands Park 100 Slaney Novice Hurdle as he has come out of his last race in fine shape.

"He's in good order and we're very happy with him," said the Bagenalstown-based handler.

"He was probably a little unfortunate at Leopardstown in that he may have needed the run. We could have done with him being back sooner and maybe he wasn't back in work long enough as he hadn't run over fence since last March, so on the day it was a pretty good run.

"He's back over hurdles and back down to two and a half miles. There's no chases coming up for him so we thought we'd go for this two-and-a-half-mile novice hurdle.

"It will do him no harm and he jumps well. Naas is a pretty stiff track, it takes a bit of getting so we thought we'd let him have a run round."

Foley explained how David Casey came in for the ride. "We couldn't claim a riding allowance in this race and Mick Fitzgerald was hoping to ride him, but he couldn't come over from England.

"Anyway we've got David Casey, so the horse won't be lacking anything from the saddle."

No Full faces eight rivals in this Grade Two heat, including Eamonn Sheehy's unbeaten Trafford Lad, Philip Fenton's Woodbine Willie and Mr Muji from Noel Meade's stable.

China Rock made a favourable impression when sixth at Leopardstown recently and will be hard to beat in the bumper.
