Officials at Huntingdon are confident racing will take place as planned on Saturday, when the feature event is the £74,000 (€108,000) totesport Peterborough Chase.

Precautionary inspections are planned for the other jumps meetings at Windsor and Haydock due to the threat of frost but Huntingdon’s clerk of the course, Fiona Needham, does not anticipate any problems.

“We had quite a hard frost last night when it got down to minus four but it got up to eight degrees today and we would have been perfectly raceable,” she said.

“It is not forecast to be as cold tonight. It is due to go down to minus two and then get up to eight or nine degrees tomorrow.

“No precautionary inspection is planned and, given the weather forecast, we should be fine.”
