The track at Cheltenham was snow-free and raceable on Wednesday after avoiding the winter dusting that affected other parts of the country.
Sleet and rain fell at the Cotswolds course and the weather forecast is sufficiently unsettled to rule out any further watering between now and the start of the Cheltenham Festival.
Clerk of the course Jon Pullin said: “A lot of places saw varying amounts of snow but we avoided that. We have had drizzle and sleet showers throughout the day but nothing of huge volume.”
