I'd have thought they'd just try and re arrange it?
Happy days if you're right though.
The two Irish entries that were declared, were taken out yesterday, assuming because of travel concerns,
If the rule is that they all qualify, then it is even more interesting if these two do also.
Off the back of that I'm going to chance Cartwright 50-1 ew4 1pt.
If he sneaked in at the bottom of the handicap then I'd like him onside.
Gordon's entered him once or twice in these qualifiers so clearly has him in mind for some reason
“Because we are now able to respond quickly to periods of adverse weather, the majority of qualifiers do not include any provision to qualify if the race is abandoned, but we will endeavour to programme additional qualifiers, for any series that have been severely affected, where there is demand. Any series that do still have provision to qualify via abandoned qualifiers will state so clearly in their race conditions.”
Not sure losing 1 of 20 qualifiers would be classed as severely affected - you’ll just have to run in another qualifier imo
Off topic but having stumbled across the hcap blot story of Unsinkable Boxer again recently,interestingly he was pulled out of the qualifier on route to this but having been declared overnight he gained qualification.
It used to be the rule that you only had to be declared overnight to get on the qualifiers list.
But it got to the stage where every qualifier was fully declared to capacity, and they all pulled out on the morning of the race leaving 4 or 5 runner fields.
I think that they probably changed the qualification rule for abandoned races at the same time that they changed the qualification rule from all declared runners in a qualifier to just the first six home in the race. I could be wrong but it makes sense that they did.

There's been a few changes, the last was from first 8 to first 6.
There are race series listed on the BHA site, and some of the rule about abondonments clearly stated, but cannot find a lot of details about the pertemps in particular.
I was going to say that we'll soon find out if Kilbricken is entered at Haydock for next weekend, but the Tizzards would probably enter anyway (already qualified or not)
Anyone found confirmation. Does the old rules mean Discorama would be qualified? Even though think was declared non runner yesterday? Be interesting on if was!
I think it's probably safest to go with the NO theory for now.
especially if making bets on the back of it without cashout.
I've backed Cartwright, but there's time to back out if it's not confirmed or if not entered in the remaining qualifiers.
If they don't have the rule anymore, then it's interesting what they do if the last one is abandoned, as it's alright saying the races can be rearranged but you can't always do this nearer the day.
The last two of the three remaining qualifiers are actually run after entries have closed for the Final. They can do this, as the entries for those two qualifiers are known (ie are a closed group of race entries), and the first six from those two races are added to the Final qualifiers.
Remember the entries close for the Final a week on Tuesday, so at present you must run next Saturday at Haydock, or enter and run at Punchestown on Weds 19th or Chepstow Sat 22nd - and finish in the first six to qualify.
