Great Leighs' administrators are expecting to meet officials from the British Horseracing Authority at some point this week in order to get racing back on at the Essex venue.

Britain's newest track was operating under a temporary licence until the end of last week, when the BHA refused it an extension so it is not permitted to hold race meetings.

Deloitte have been appointed as administrators to the group of companies that own and operate Great Leighs.

Thursday's card has already been moved to Kempton Park while the next possible fixture is another seven days from that.

A spokesman for Deloitte said: "The administrators have been in discussions with the relevant stakeholders and we expect to meet with the BHA later this week with a view to trying to secure a temporary racing licence for Great Leighs."

No time or day for a meeting has been announced yet.

The BHA's media relations manager Paul Struthers added: "I can confirm that the administrators have contacted us today to discuss the licensing process and discussions will continue."
