No N.H. racing again today

For the sixth successive day, here will be no N.H. racing in Britain today as Catterick and Hereford, as well as Thurles in Ireland, have been abandoned. Tomorrow´s meeting at Huntngdon also looks highly unlikely to go ahead, but prospects are brighter at Kelso, where temperatures are slightly higher. Ayr´s new Saturday fixture should have no problems, but Warwick and Wetherby are both doubtful, while Kempton´s jumps meeting on Saturday has been cancelled and replaced by all-weather racing on the flat. However temperatures are forecast to rise at the weekend, so next week´s situation looks more hopeful.
