Yesterday’s Kenilworth meeting fell victim to rain and will now take place on Sunday with the first race again at 1.15pm.

Heavy rain began falling shortly after 7.30am and 28mm was recorded. The wet weather panel (including jockey and trainer representatives plus a vet) was convened and at 11.30am Greg Cheyne galloped a horse on the course, reporting that there was surface water and inconsistent underfoot conditions. The course was declared unsafe and the meeting called off at 11.50am.
