The British Horseracing Authority (BHA) can confirm that Musselburgh’s fixture on Tuesday 21 July has been abandoned.

The decision has been approved by the BHA Course Inspectorate due to an issue with the racecourse irrigation system which is limiting the amount of water that can be applied to the racing surface and will not be resolved before raceday.

With the Going already Good to Firm and no rain forecast ahead of Tuesday, Musselburgh will be unable to provide raceable ground. The fixture has therefore been abandoned now, to give participants as much notice as possible, and will not be replaced.
