The All Weather track at Newcastle is set to host the first meeting in Britain since March 17 when racing resumes behind closed doors next Monday.

The eight-race card which will be limited to 12 runners per race has attracted a total of 369 entries.

The biggest number of entries have been for the two non-handicaps on the card, A 1m2f Maiden for three-year-olds and up has 68 entries while a three-year-old and up Novice stakes has 64 entries.

Final declarations for the meeting will be made on Friday as the BHA has instructed that all UK races will have 72 hour declarations for the initial period of behind closed doors racing.
