There was only one race at Dundalk on Monday where my pick Den Of Iniquity was 2nd, the 11/8 favourite tracked the leaders sitting 4th at halfway. She strongly pressed the leader La Tulipe Noire in the closing stages just failing to reach her and losing by a head. The rest of the card was abandoned due to freezing fog and poor visibility reported by the jockeys who took part in that first race.
After today's abandonment Irish racing takes a break on Tuesday, there are meetings on the All-weather at Southwell and Wolverhampton. The next Irish card is scheduled to be back at Dundalk on Wednesday, it it goes ahead then tips for the features will be up on Tuesday night.
The rest of the week on the turf isn't looking good with the cold weather likely to put pay to fixtures at Naas, Fairyhouse and Thurles with Sunday's card at Navan having the best chance of going ahead although that could yet change. The seven race card that should have happened at Punchestown at the weekend will now hopefully take place on Monday December 19th where the Grade 1 John Durkan Memorial Chase will take centre stage.
