This afternoon's meeting at Sedgefield goes ahead following an 8am inspection.

Temperatures dropped well below freezing overnight but clerk of the course Charlie Moore has seen a rapid improvement in conditions already.

"Our temperatures are coming up to 0C now so we have said that racing goes ahead, provided that continues," he said.

"We got down to -5C last night and this would be the first time I've raced after that sort of frost.

"The frost is coming out of the ground now and we have great big ball of sun so as long as that continues, we will be fine."

Quay Meadow...latest WINNER for Barry Robson Racing

Members were told this morning... "Catt 2.30 Quay Meadow handles soft conditions and back on last winning mark (e/w)"...10/1>17/2 WINNER!

BIGGER PRICED runner lined up for tomorrow...JOIN NOW!

Catterick ON!

Tuesday's fixture at Catterick goes ahead without the need for an 8am inspection.

Although overnight temperatures reached minus 2C, the North Yorkshire track averted the threat of frost.

Clerk of the course Fiona Needham said: "Temperatures rose during the night as cloud cover moved in. It did not get as cold as we expected so it's obviously very good news."

The Lesters

Tony McCoy and Ryan Moore were among those to pick up awards at the 20th Shadwell Lesters in a glittering ceremony at the Hilton Park Lane in London on Sunday evening.

McCoy was adding two more Lesters to take his tally to 16 after winning Jump Ride of the Year for Wichita Lineman at the Cheltenham Festival, and picking up another Jump Jockey of the Year honour.

Moore, McCoy's counterpart on the level, was named Flat Jockey of the Year, while Hayley Turner won her seventh Lester when she took the prize for Lady Rider of the Year.

The title of Apprentice of the Year went to Freddy Tylicki and the Conditional Jockey of the Year was Aidan Coleman.

Two recently retired riders honoured were Mick Kinane (International Jockey of the Year) and Dale Gibson (Flat Jockey Special Recognition). The award for Jump Jockey Special Recognition went to Jimmy McCarthy.

Tom Queally picked up Flat Ride of the Year for his brilliant effort on Midday for Henry Cecil in the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf.
