Hello, and welcome to our LIVE blog.
Storm Claudia continues to cause major disruption across Britain and Ireland, and today’s action on the track could be under serious threat, with Cheltenham, Uttoxeter and Navan all staging 7.30am inspections.
Here’s what we know so far
The ground was described as soft, good to soft in places after racing at Cheltenham on Friday, and clerk of the course Jon Pullin called for a morning inspection on Saturday due to heavy rainfall until close of play yesterday.
At Navan, where star names such as Marine Nationale and Kopek Des Bordes are declared, conditions were described as “perfectly raceable”, but an official check will also take place at 7.30am.
Uttoxeter’s jumps card was also subject to a morning inspection, with the ground soft, heavy in places on Friday.
