The British Horseracing Authority has today confirmed that Leicester will stage an all-Chase card at its fixture on Wednesday 12 January, following the abandonment of the scheduled Hurdle races.

Three new Steeple Chase races have been added to create a six-race card, entries for which will close at noon tomorrow, Saturday 8 January, before 48-hour declarations are taken at 10am on Monday 10 January.
