Saturday´s N.H. racing at Ascot and Newcastle abandoned

there is likely to be very little racing on grass this weekend, as Saturday´s meetings at Ascot and Newcastle have already been abandoned, while there will be inspections at Haydock and Navan in Ireland, also for Sunday´s meetings in Carlisle and Thurles (Ireland). However the outlook for the big post-Christmas meetings (Kempton etc) looks brighter as the weather is forecast to improve next week.
