Jump meets subject to inspections

WINTRY weather continues to pose a threat to racing with both of today’s jumps meetings subject to inspections and one of tomorrow’s fixtures already off.

Officials at both at Fontwell and Warwick will judge the state of their respective courses at 7.30am. The latter was raceable yesterday but with an overnight frost forecast, clerk of the course Fiona Needham is being vigilant and has called a precautionary check.

She said: “We were perfectly raceable on Wednesday, but things could go to around minus two degrees overnight so it is best to be cautious.”
