Folkestone’s jumps fixture on Tuesday is subject to a 7.30am precautionary inspection on raceday morning.

Officials at the Kent circuit must assess conditions due to the possibility of frost and wintry showers overnight.

Clerk of the course Neil MacKenzie Ross said: "There was no frost last night, and while it will be a cold day, hopefully overnight it won't drop below freezing.

"There’s also the possibility of a wintry shower, so it’s better to be safe rather than sorry."
