Track inspections in Britain and outlook for this week’s jump racing

There are upcoming jump racing fixtures in Britain and Ireland. The race meetings are set to take place over the next few days. The first race is scheduled for 12.40, and there is fresh ground for the horses to run on. However, there is frost expected until Friday, followed by milder and unsettled conditions during the weekend. The situation is being monitored.

In other racing news, the Thyestes run may determine the future plans for a popular veteran horse, and retirement is not ruled out. Dan Skelton, a proud trainer, has his eyes set on more big-race glory with Protektorat, who performed admirably in the Fleur de Lys race. There is also news about a potential takeover offer for the parent company of Unibet by French gambling giant FDJ. Additionally, the long-absent sprint star Oxted is set to make a comeback in May, which is exciting for racing fans.

Lastly, there is mention of Storm Isha affecting racing, but the meetings scheduled for Monday are still expected to proceed as planned.
