Going news, market movers and punting pointers as Fontwell passes inspection
Make the most of racing today as meteorologists forecast upcoming snow and ice disruption.
Naas starts the ball rolling and features Grade 2 and 3 races with unsurprisingly Gordon Elliott having a hand in both.
Fontwell has passed an 8am inspection and it is feature time at the track, with the course's seasonal highlight, the Grade 2 totepool National Spirit Hurdle, taking place. It features the 2016 winner Lil Rockerfeller, who was last year's Sun Bets Stayers' Hurdle runner-up.
Southwell completes the action with seven races.
