Green light for Catterick

This afternoon's meeting at Catterick goes ahead following an early-morning course inspection.

Officials at the North Yorkshire circuit needed to assess conditions due a sombre overnight forecast for possible frost and snow.

But with temperatures having only dipped to minus 1C, allied to a dry night, the jumps fixture was promptly given the go-ahead.

Catterick clerk of the course Fiona Needham said: "It's very good news.

"We had no snow and overnight temperatures got down to -1C, which wasn't a problem."

The going is soft, good to soft in places.
