The British Horseracing Authority (BHA) has announced that Warwick will host a fixture on Thursday November 29 - taking the number of fixtures held at the racecourse this season up to 19.

The afternoon fixture has been transferred to Warwick from Towcester Racecourse, after the Northamptonshire venue went into administration earlier this year.
