Pontefract: Will be racing

Pontefract have passed a 6.30am inspection and Wednesday afternoon's meeting will go ahead.

Officials called a precautionary check due to the slight threat of overnight rain but the track has avoided any showers.

Assistant clerk of the course Richard Hammill said: "We're on and there are no problems at all.

"We had a dry night and while the ground is still heavy, soft in places, it's really not too bad at all and we have a dry forecast for today."
