Master waits in Ireland

Master Oats and Monsieur Le Cure will remain in Ireland this week in the hope that Leopardstown will be able to stage the Hennessy Gold Cup, abandoned yesterday due to frost, on Sunday.

Today's card at Fontwell is also frosted off, while prospects are poor for today's card at Newton Abbot (inspection 6.45am) and tomorrow's meetings at Warwick and Carlisle.
