Worcester abandoned

The jumps meeting at Worcester this evening has been abandoned after significant rainfall.

An initial 7.30am inspection was cancelled after a dry night, but rain later in the day prompted a precautionary inspection to be called for 2.30pm.

Clerk of the course Fergus Cameron said: "It has stopped raining but we had a total of nine millimetres in 40 minutes.

"There is every chance of further rain, so reluctantly we have taken the decision to abandon racing."
