Today's meetings at Hereford and Wetherby will take place after both tracks passed morning inspections.

The West Yorkshire venue first assessed conditions at 3pm on Tuesday after the drainage dykes in the back straight burst, leading to significant areas of standing water.

There was still standing water in places at that stage but by 7.30am on Wednesday it had drained sufficiently.

Hereford were concerned by forecast overnight rain, but again were able to give the card the green light after a precautionary inspection.
