The chasing debut of the exciting Gaelic Warrior has been put on temporary hold with the meeting at Fairyhouse on Tuesday called off due to waterlogging.

Willie Mullins had chosen the Irish National Hunt Steeplechase CLG Beginners Chase as the starting point for Gaelic Warrior's new discipline but torrential rain overnight has left the course unraceable.

"Following 20mm of rain overnight, which was more rain than what was originally forecast for Fairyhouse, the track is now unfit for racing and the fixture scheduled for tomorrow has been cancelled," said IHRB clerk of the course Brendan Sheridan.

"We needed the rainfall to come up short of what was forecast but unfortunately we got slightly more and the track will not be raceable in time for tomorrow due to the volume of rain on ground that was already soft, heavy in places."

The meeting has been rescheduled for Friday 24 November.
