Kelso set for further check

Kelso will stage a precautionary inspection at 8am ahead of tomorrow's meeting after the track passed an initial check.

Clerk of the course Anthea Morshead reports the Borders venue to be fit for racing on Saturday following a noon inspection, but she will look again in the morning due to the prospect of another cold night.

She said: "It's fit for racing today but we are forecast a frost tonight.

"It did drop to minus two but only in the second half of the night and it is a lovely, bright day today.

"We are forecast to drop to minus two tonight with a maximum of plus four tomorrow but the only worry is that as it is such a clear day, the frost could set in a bit earlier.

"We will look at 8am though and make a decision from there."
