Channel 4 may switch to Wolverhampton

Channel 4 could switch their coverage to an all-weather meeting for the second Saturday running. Warwick and The Ladbroke card at Leopardstown are due to be covered by Channel 4 this Saturday but, because of the prevailing cold weather threatening Warwick, a switch to Wolverhampton's all-weather fixture is planned.

The programme's producer Andrew Franklin said yesterday: "Should Warwick be called off by lunchtime on Friday it would give us enough time to switch to Wolverhampton."

After the meeting at Sandown was abandoned last weekend Channel 4 Racing covered the all-weather fixture at Lingfield.
