Saturday's racecards

Guitar Pete and Yorkhill, who returned to form with success in Newcastle's Rehearsal Chase in November, were declared non-runners in the race this morning.

Elsewhere, Sporting Life Arkle favourite Shishkin is a general 1-5 shot to continue his unbeaten run over fences in the Grade 2 Lightning Novices' Chase (1.30).

The ground at Doncaster has improved overnight and the going is now soft, good to soft in places with clerk of the course Roderick Duncan feeling they have been "very lucky" to avoid the rain which has forced the cancellation of other fixtures across Britain and Ireland.

Doncaster's three Grade 2 races, as well as the Sky Bet Chase, will be shown live on ITV, which now also features three races on the all-weather from Lingfield following yesterday's cancellation of Trials day at Cheltenham.

Fairyhouse off and Naas faces inspection

This afternoon's meeting at Fairyhouse has been cancelled after heavy rain overnight left parts of the track unraceable.

The ground at the track was already heavy and was unable to take the 12mm of rain which fell yesterday evening and into this morning. The fixture has been rescheduled for Monday week.

Sunday's jumps meeting in Ireland at Naas faces an inspection at 3pm on Saturday. The going is described as heavy and there is an unsettled forecast.
