Tomorrow's Vine & Craven fixture at Barbury is set fair to proceed with a later than advertised start time of 1230. The overnight forecast is for another frost, and the additional hour will give every opportunity for any residual frost to leave the ground.
All landings and take-offs are covered, and the ground is raceable today, Friday. Daytime temperatures on Saturday will peak at 6C.
"We'll be holding a precautionary inspection at 0900 tomorrow,"reported Committee Chairman Richard Fuller. "However, we're in an excellent place, with every prospect of a first class day's racing ahead of us."
