This afternoon's meeting at Wetherby goes ahead as planned after a successful course inspection.

Officials at the Yorkshire circuit needed to assess conditions in light of a recent wintry blast, but the situation has improved markedly over the last 24 hours, with overnight temperatures having stayed above freezing.

A course statement, issued on Twitter, read: "Racing goes ahead. Ground now soft, heavy in places.

"Three millimetres of precipitation since 5am, with further showers forecast up to 11am."
