Plumpton are doing all they can to beat the weather and serve up the planned seven-race Tuesday afternoon card.

Frost sheets have gone down at the scenic Mid Sussex venue as temperatures plummet.

An inspection will be held at 8.30am on Tuesday due to the risk of frost.

The course report temperatures are forecast to get down to minus 3degC overnight.

Frost sheets are being used on the entire course.

Press Association tipsters have been looking over the potential runners and riders and believe Emma Lavelle’s Canty Bay can defy a penalty in the Mayo Wynne Baxter Novices’ Hurdle at 1.15pm.

A ten-length winner at Taunton in November, he held strong claims of following up a month later when coming down two out at Wincanton.

We now know the winner, Lord Of Thunder, is a very nice prospect who has won again since, so he might not have beaten him in any case, but he would have likely been a good second and can gain compensation.

Press Association’s selections: 12.45 Clondaw Robin, 1.15 Canty Bay, 1.50 Copshill Lad, 2.25 Shanty Alley, 3.00 Tea And Chats, 3.35 Sanitiser, 4.05 Ferrybridge.
