Officials at Chepstow will stage a precautionary inspection at 7am ahead of Thursday's meeting due to the threat of further rain.

Conditions at the Welsh venue are already described as heavy and clerk of the course Keith Ottesen has decided to call an early-morning check to be on the safe side.

He said: "There has been a change in the forecast and we could get quite a bit more rain tonight than was originally forecast. We've had four millimetres already today and could get as much as eight millimetres more overnight, so we'll have a look in the morning and see where we are."
