Leicester look again

Leicester's meeting on Saturday evening remains under threat from waterlogging.

Following an inspection on Friday afternoon, officials decided to take another look at 7am tomorrow.

The East Midlands track has been hit with 102 millimetres of rain in the last 11 days with 20mm falling on Thursday night.

"We're going to give it another shout. We're still not out of the woods by any means," said clerk of the course Jimmy Stevenson.

"It has improved, but has been raining again. We felt we just needed to give it every chance, so we're going to have another look in the morning."

The going is described as heavy, waterlogged in patches.
