Today's Catterick meeting is cancelled and doubts remain over some weekend fixtures
Today's meeting at Catterick has been abandoned due to waterlogging.
Kelso will stage a precautionary inspection at 7.30am for Friday's meeting.
Wetherby's meeting on Saturday will be an all hurdles card as the chase track is currently unraceable.
In Ireland, Punchestown will hold a track inspection tomorrow at 8.00am. The track is currently unraceable due to waterlogging.
There's little hope on the horizon for the weekend either. Sunday's meeting at Carlisle is already under threat due to excessive rain in the area this week.
An inspection has been called for 8.30am on Friday but clerk of the course Jonnie Fenwicke-Clennell has said."Prospects of racing going ahead are bleak and we are not optimistic at this stage.
"We are halfway through completing the installation of a new drainage system and it is the area we have not got round to yet where we are having the problem."
