IT is a pity that today’s meetings in Britain at Kempton and Warwick have been lost to the weather, but they were both odds-against to go ahead from fairly early in the week, and fair play to the authorities for making contingency efforts.

The net result is that there is a full and fairly interesting National Hunt card in Britain at Ffos Las today, including the re-routed Towton Chase, as long as the course passes its 7.30am inspection.
