Friday's jumps fixtures at Fakenham and Uttoxeter have been called off as Storm Babet continues to bring heavy rain and strong winds across the country.
Both tracks had called inspections for 7.30am but neither venue will race due to the weather conditions. Uttoxeter had 12mm of rain overnight, with clerk of the course Richard Fothergill anticipating a further 20mm at least over the day. Hollie Doyle blog: Trueshan better than ever ahead of Long Distance Cup bid!Stars collide in epic Champions Day clashes at AscotHe said: 'We had the 12mm overnight but in the hour after I walked the course at 7am, we had a further 5mm.
30am this morning which was fine, but the problem is what is to come with our forecaster saying we could get 30-40mm, with the worst rain moving in around lunchtime. 'We have a drainage ditch that runs through the course from surrounding farmland with a pond that can overflow onto the track, we also couldn't guarantee safety vehicles would be able to access all areas of the track and obviously horse and rider safety is paramount.
