Looks shocking as Towcester say they are very unlikely to race so will be left with:
Newbury 12.25 - 3.40
Kempton 2.10 - 5.20
Wolvs 5.50 - 9.20
So only a short period mid-afternoon where we actually have 2 meetings on at the same time
Newbury 12.25 - 3.40
Kempton 2.10 - 5.20
Wolvs 5.50 - 9.20

Newbury/Newcastle 27/11/10
THE Stanjames.com Fighting Fifth Hurdle has been moved to Newbury on Saturday to form a blockbuster card alongside the Hennessy Gold Cup.
Originally due to be held at Newcastle until snow and cold weather forced the abandonment of that card, the Fighting Fifth will now be the second race on the Newbury card with a start time of 12.25.

Looks like Wolvs on the All Weather isn't quite so All Weather and looks to be abandoned mid meeting

You can add Carlise to the list of lost meetings tomorrow. Looks like it will just be Kempton.

Word form the track is that it isn't looking likely.
Edit: Looks like they are happy now
