The Lowdown: updates for Tuesday's meetings as Leicester is cancelled

Today's news

• LEICESTER LOST: Leicester became the latest course to succumb to the rain after an inspection. The seven-race card was cancelled due to a waterlogged track.

• CHALLENGE MADE: Make A Challenge is going to do just that after Sunday's impressive Listed winner at the Curragh was supplemented at the cost of £40,000 for the Group 1 Qipco British Champions Sprint at Ascot on Saturday.

• MILLIONAIRE'S QUESTION: John Gosden will not decide whether his dual £1m stayers' bonus star Stradivarious runs in the Qipco Long Distance Cup until he has walked the course at Ascot on Saturday before racing.

• BREXIT LATEST: some sighs of relief in the racing industry with news that in the event of a no-deal Brexit there would be no restrictions of horse movement between Britain and the EU after Britain was declared a third country.

Paul Kealy's top tip

Ghalib
4.50 Musselburgh
Been finding 1m2f on bad ground too far but does love soft ground and can go well at a price if drop in trip works.
