There is a seven race card set for Thursday with a first race time of 12.30pm.

The action remains behind closed doors but will all be live on Racing TV.

Nadia Powell, General Manager at Market Rasen said: “This is an important day for us with a Listed feature and I am very grateful to Mansionbet who are supporting the entire card.

“We always take a special interest in how our big race winners progress and the thought we might see the last two Summer Plate heroines in opposition is exciting.

“I am pleased with the entries for Thursday and the entries for the opening Maiden Hurdle look especially eyecatching with a number of top yards represented.”
