The Premier Raceday at Kelso on Saturday failed to pass an inspection of the waterlogged track on Friday morning, but some hasty rejigging by the British Horseracing Authority – including a wholesale shift of Chelmsford City’s evening meeting to an afternoon slot – means armchair fans can still enjoy seven races on ITV1.

The televised schedule now includes the Cardinal Conditions Stakes at Chelmsford, a race which carries 30 qualification points for the 150th Kentucky Derby next month in addition to the £50,000 first prize, and the Group Three Alleged Stakes at the Curragh, in which White Birch, third home in last season’s Derby, is due to make his four-year-old debut.
