Racing will go ahead at Uttoxeter after the course passed a morning inspection.

A check was called at the Staffordshire track for Friday's seven-race card, because of the threat of further overnight rain.

But it was confirmed shortly after 7am that racing would take place as scheduled, despite standing water in places on ground described as heavy.
