Rain expected for Racing Post Trophy at Doncaster
Conditions could be on the soft side for the Racing Post Trophy at Doncaster on Saturday.
The ground is currently described as good to soft but rain is expected before the Group One feature.
"The ground is good to soft at the moment, but it is a little bit better in places. We had a decent drying day yesterday and it's slowly drying today," said clerk of the course David Williams.
"Tomorrow is looking pretty much overcast while on Saturday we could see some rain in the early hours of the morning.
"We will have to see what we get. The forecast is for four or five millimetres and at this time of year that could change the ground.
"It will be raced-on ground on the Friday so it will ride that little bit easier on Saturday and it doesn't dry this time of the year as it does in the summer so it could change the ground," he told At The Races.
