Hereford to inspect on Saturday before Sunday

OFFICIALS at Hereford will inspect the course at 11.30am on Saturday before Sunday's meeting.

Clerk of the course Keith Ottesen took an initial check at 8.30am on Friday and he said conditions had improved sufficiently for him to warrant calling a second inspection.

"We didn't drop below 0C overnight and the forecast snow didn't materialise. Instead, we had 10mm of sleety rain and that has brought about improvement.

"We are still frozen in a few places but we couldn't call it off as conditions are improving. It could be a false dawn as temperatures are forecast to drop to -7C tonight but it was wrong last night so we just have to hope it's wrong again."
