Kempton plan to inspect at 12.30pm on Wednesday after a “major water burst” at Hampton Court waterlogged parts of the Sunbury track. Details are sketchy at present but the Racing TV presenter Nick Luck has stated on Twitter that “a huge area” has been affected. Racing TV would be televising the scheduled meeting.

UPDATE: A precautionary inspection has been called for 12:30pm due to a major water burst at Hampton Court we are awaiting an update from Thames Water on remedial work.
