Folkestone: Big thaw needed
Folkestone officials will check conditions at the track at 2pm on Monday ahead of Tuesday's National Hunt meeting.
Clerk of the course Neil Mackenzie Ross is looking for a serious improvement in conditions if the meeting is to go ahead.
He said: "We're still snowbound and frozen in places. We're not expecting much today but it is forecast to remain above freezing overnight and the temperatures are due to pick up tomorrow.
"There's quite a big thaw needed and we're concerned there might not be enough time.
"It's largely due to be cloudy which means it will be a slow thaw but by having a look on Monday afternoon, we will see if it's worth going into Tuesday."
