Newmarket turns soft again

Newmarket's ground has turned soft again ahead of this weekend's 1000 and 2000 Guineas after substantial overnight rain.

The track had dried up to good to soft on Wednesday but 25 millimetres of rain has seen conditions ease again.

Declarations for the first Classic of the season, Saturday's Qipco 2000 Guineas, are made later on Thursday with the 1000 Guineas run on Sunday.
