Leicester set for inspection

Leicester's meeting on Thursday is subject to an 8am precautionary inspection in the morning.

Frost is the main issue at the track, with temperatures set to drop to as low as -5C.

A maximum daytime temperature of 2C on Thursday has also been forecast.

Clerk of the course Jimmy Stevenson said on Wednesday morning: "There's no frost whatsoever this morning - we are perfectly raceable - but there is quite a severe frost forecast tonight.

"If we think we have a chance at 8am, we'll probably call another inspection later in the morning and then, possibly, look again.

"We've got to be patient."
