Officials at Plumpton have called an 8am precautionary inspection ahead of their scheduled Sunday meeting.

Conditions at the Sussex venue are currently described as raceable but with further frost forecast tonight, chief executive Claire Sheppard feels it is important to take a look ahead of racing.

“We are having a look at 8am but we are optimistic,” said Sheppard.

“We have had covers down since Friday and it is frost-free under those at the moment but it makes sense to have a look in the morning.

“We are forecast around minus three overnight which is not as sharp as last night when he had minus six so we are hopeful.”
