Catterick's meeting on Wednesday will go ahead as planned after the course passed a second inspection.

Officials were forced to inspect again at 9.30am after the initial checks proved to be inconclusive.

Temperatures at the course had dipped to minus three overnight - however the improving conditions meant clerk of the course Fiona Needham was able to give the meeting the green light.

"We're fine. Temperatures have risen rapidly and we're on about five degrees now so we're fine," said Needham.

The going is described as good, good to firm in places.
