Temperatures dipped to minus 7C overnight in the East Midlands, but clerk of the course Jimmy Stevenson is still refusing to admit defeat following two checks this morning.
He said: "It's coming on nicely, we just need another hour.
"We've got a problem on the road crossings - the frost got under the covers - but we are hopeful. We've walked the track and we can't find anything that is really worrying us."
The six-race card is due to get under way at 12.50pm.
Today's fixture at Carlisle was abandoned due to a frozen track following an inspection at lunchtime yesterday.
