Rain hits New Year programme cross-channel

WET WEATHER is continuing to hit racing this week following a National Hunt wash-out yesterday.

Lingfield's all-weather meeting was left to fly the flag after all three of yesterday's jump meetings were abandoned on Sunday.

Two of today's cards, at Fontwell and Warwick, have already been called off with a third, Catterick, subject to a 7.30am inspection because of standing water on parts of the track.
