Weather alert for racing

WET conditions throughout Britain look set to disrupt jump racing for the rest of the week at least.

Yesterday’s fixture at Hereford was called off due to waterlogging this morning and today’s two National Hunt fixtures at Newcastle and Exeter are subject to inspections at 7.30am.

Lingfield’s meeting on Thursday is already in doubt with an inspection called for 3pm today while Sandown need an improvement for their Friday and Saturday cards to go ahead.
