“In light of the fact that that the ground-staff have not been able to work on the track since mid-January until today, and with a forecast of up to 25mm rain in the next 24 hours, we have asked the BHA to provisionally schedule an all Chase card for Thursday.
“Despite there being no standing water, the course is too wet to roll.

“A decision will be made tomorrow based on the condition of the course following any overnight rain. If the weather forecast is kind, we shall press on with the original races – this is purely a contingency plan if needed to give us the best chance to get racing on.
“I would like to take the opportunity to credit our grounds team, headed by clerk of the course Barry Johnson. The team have done a sterling job this season.”
