With two hours prior to the Noon deadline (Tuesday), Towcester remains a viable option for trainers looking for Saturday night open race runners.

None of the opens have yet filled: 280m, 480m, 480m (puppy), 480mH, 500m, 686m, though Chris Page is expecting that at least six will.

He said: “Trainers tend to leave it to the last minute, though at the moment, we are still looking for entries.”

Sponsored by Imperial Car Supermarkets, each event is worth £250 (@ trophy) with £75 for others.
