“We will use the trials as a type of dress rehearsal with the weigh-out area and jockeys room, etc open,” BRC racing manager Matt Rudolph said.

“After the trials there will be two jump-outs on the back section of the track. We want to see how it holds up with horses galloping over it.

“At the end of the day we will confer with stewards and Racing to confirm whether a return to racing is possible on December 22.

“The December 22 meeting is set for but there are no feature races that day so the meeting can easily be transferred to Eagle Farm.”

There will be normal jump-outs on the Eagle Farm A grass on Tuesday morning before the trials.
