More inspections

"TODAY'S all-weather meetings at Lingfield and Kempton are both subject to a second inspection.

The threat of overnight snow had forced officials at Lingfield to take a first look at 6.30am and with over an inch lying on the track, a second inspection was scheduled for 8.30am.
Speaking just before 7am on Wednesday, clerk of the course Neil Mackenzie Ross said: "I'm reasonably confident about the prospects of racing."

It was a similar story at Kempton where officials will take a second look at 9.30am.

Barney Clifford, clerk of the course at Kempton, said: "We had 2cm of snow overnight and the forecast is for the snow to continue all morning, which is why I have pushed the inspection back to 9.30am.
