Southwell passes morning inspection

Jumps action resumes after a blank day on Tuesday.

Wednesday’s meeting at Southwell goes ahead as planned after the track passed a precautionary inspection.

The course was raceable under the fleece covers on Tuesday, but officials felt it prudent to check conditions on raceday morning due to the prospect of freezing overnight temperatures.

An inspection was planned for 8am but clerk of the course David Attwood was able to give the go-ahead an hour earlier than that.

Southwell is the only jumps card to take place on Wednesday, with Newbury already called off.
