Precautionary inspection called for 08:00 Sunday to see if Aintree meeting can go ahead
Winds of 30-35 and gusts of 50-60 mph forecast @AintreeRaces which is due to stage Old Roan Chase
Saturday - Going @DoncasterRaces is HEAVY
Rain expected at Cheltenham and wind gusts of 40-45mph forecast later this afternoon
But despite 65mm of rain from Monday to start of racing on Friday, the going at 07:00 on Saturday 🟰 GOOD

As part of our Betway brand’s partnership with @BetwayTowcester - we’re very pleased to also become sponsors of the Greyhound Derby, a race I worked on earlier in my career at Wimbledon.
We sincerely thank and pay tribute to @BenStarSports and his team, including @kim_sanzone, for their spell as custodians of the great race.
I’m sure our Betway team will continue to do it justice.

Strong views from Seb Sanders as a stewards' enquiry is called at @WolvesRaces...
Which race are you most looking forward to this weekend?
