Doncaster inspection ahead of November Handicap card Doncaster has announced a precautionary inspection will be held on Friday morning, with a ‘risk of 30mm’ of rain forecast before this weekend’s final Flat meeting of the year. Saturday’s seven-race card is due to feature the November Handicap. The going at Town Moor is currently described as heavy, soft in places. An update on Thursday reported rain was already falling at dawn and is forecast to continue for the next 24 hours — and the inspection will take place at 8am on Friday. Doncaster had to cancel day two of its previous Flat meeting at the end of last month, with the Group One Vertem Futurity Trophy transferred to Newcastle six days later.
