The British Horseracing Authority (BHA) has today announced that following the abandonment of Chepstow’s 27 August fixture owing to unsafe ground, the BHA has permitted the transfer of Chepstow’s next fixture on 3 September to Ffos Las.

Original entries for the Chepstow races will be cancelled and entries for the new races will close at noon on Thursday, 30 August, with declarations according to the normal schedule. The card at Ffos Las will be a seven race, afternoon fixture as previously.

Race conditions will closely resemble those originally scheduled for Chepstow with necessary distance and safety factor changes and will be available on the Racing Admin website www2.racingadmin.co.uk  from 12 noon today, 29 August.
