Leicester inspect but forecast improving
Officials at Leicester will hold an inspection at 8.30am tomorrow to assess prospects for racing at the East Midlands track in the afternoon.
The going is currently soft on the hurdle track, good, good to soft in places on the chase course, with frozen patches.
However, clerk of the course Jimmy Stevenson said: “It is an improving forecast as there is rain due from midnight to 3am in the morning, which is what we need as that is the best thing to get rid of frost.
“So if the forecast is correct, we’ve got a chance. We’re hopeful but it just depends on how quickly we can get the frost out of the ground.”
