After further rainfall this week, the Chase course at Bangor remains waterlogged. With the forecast suggesting the course will not dry out in time for next Wednesday鈥檚 fixture, Bangor鈥檚 Clerk Of The Course has been forced to abandon the Chases scheduled for 27 January.
In response, the British Horseracing Authority (BHA)鈥檚 Racing Department has programmed two additional Hurdle races in an attempt to safeguard this fixture.听 The card will now be made up of five Hurdle races and a Standard Open National Hunt Flat race.
Bangor鈥檚 Going on the Hurdles course is currently described as Heavy.
