Leicester's jumps fixture on Sunday is subject to an 8.15am course inspection on raceday morning.

Frost and snow are potential issues, but clerk of the course Jimmy Stevenson is cautiously optimistic about the chances of the meeting defeating the elements.

He said on Saturday morning: "Hopefully we'll be OK. As long as temperatures get up to what they say, the overnight frost doesn't look too bad.
