Kempton Park's racing fixture has been canceled due to adverse weather conditions. The course failed a morning inspection on Friday because of frozen ground, with temperatures dropping to -6°C and forecasted to remain below freezing.
As of now, there is no official announcement regarding the rescheduling of the race. Given the current weather conditions and the proximity to other major fixtures, it's uncertain whether the race will be rescheduled.
Impose Toi, the current market favorite and trained by Dan Skelton, comes into the race with a strong form line. A consistent performer this season, Impose Toi has impressed with his tactical speed and stamina, making him a leading contender on Saturday.

Joseph O’Brien’s Beat The Bat is another top fancy, having run an excellent prep race last month. His ability to handle soft ground conditions, combined with his progressive profile, puts him firmly in the mix.
Representing Emma Lavelle’s stable, Knight Of Allen has shown glimpses of brilliance, particularly with his victory earlier this season in a Class 2 handicap. His ability to stay competitive in big-field scenarios could be crucial.
Paul Nicholls saddles Jipcot, a lightly raced six-year-old who caught the eye with a dominant performance in his last outing. While stepping up in class, he carries the potential to surprise in this field.
Doddiethegreat, named after the late Doddie Weir, will be looking to bounce back after a tough race at Cheltenham. This Nicky Henderson-trained runner has the class to compete but will need to overcome inconsistencies in his recent form.
This year’s race is wide open, but Impose Toi’s consistent form and adaptability give him the edge in a field packed with potential. Keep an eye on Beat The Bat, who could thrive under conditions, while Jipcot looks like an exciting prospect from a yard that thrives in these marquee races.
