Carlisle to hold inspection

Carlisle’s jumps meeting on Thursday is under threat with an inspection called for 8am tomorrow.

The track is heavy, waterlogged in places following 33 millimetres of rain in the last few days, including 21mm overnight on Monday.

“The fact that we’re inspecting at 8am, before declaration time, tells its own story,” said clerk of the course Jonnie Fenwicke-Clennell.

“The forecast says showers but we need it to dry up and it’s the same everywhere.”
