Clonmel has passed its precautionary inspection and racing gets under way at 12.05pm.
Lorcan Wyer, IHRB Clerk of the Course, said: "The ground remains soft, soft to heavy in places. The track is currently free of frost and fog, but the forecast remains cold with a chance of freezing fog and wintry showers."
Henry de Bromhead's Eklat De Rire reverts back to flights for the Jim Strang & Sons Kilsheelan (Peugeot) Hurdle and shades favouritism from Ronald Pump who is making his first start since switching to Ciaran Murphy.
