Racing at the Cheltenham Festival will go ahead on day two after a precautionary weather inspection, racecourse officials have announced.
Fears that winds of up to 50mph could cause the postponement of Wednesday’s racecard as it was in 2008.
But these concerns were allayed by the inspection at 6am this morning, with clerk of the course Simon Claisse deciding that the “prospect of higher wind speeds and gusts have receded”.
