Doncaster will stage a seven-race card tomorrow made up of races saved from the abandoned meetings at Leicester and Ripon. Five races from Leicester, including the Group Three Leicestershire Stakes (2.35) have been transferred, along with two from Ripon. Channel 4 will broadcast the Leicestershire Stakes, along with the Granby Handicap at 4.35.

The going at Doncaster is good to soft, soft in places. The grandstand and the club enclosure will be as one, entrance will be £10. The family enclosure will be £2 and anyone with advance tickets for Ripon and Leicester will be admitted. Ripon's annual members will also be welcome, along with Redcar's annual members, who had a reciprocal day at Ripon.

Tomorrow's meetings at Ripon and Leicester both fell to waterlogging yesterday while Sedgefield hinges on a 7.30am inspection today.

The chases at Market Rasen tomorrow have been scrapped and an all-hurdle six-race card at the track is subject to an 8am inspection today.

Sandown inspect at 7.30am to determine whether Flat racing can go ahead this afternoon. Although there has been no rain in the last 24 hours the forecast is bad.

The going at Sandown is soft, heavy in places, and should the meeting be abandoned the Group Two KLM UK Sandown Mile will be run as the first race of the Whitbread card tomorrow.

Perth's meeting today was abandoned following an inspection yesterday.
