Carlisle meeting given go-ahead

This afternoon's jumps meeting at Carlisle has survived an early-morning inspection and goes ahead as planned.

The Cumbria circuit was waterlogged in places on Tuesday, forcing the track's executive to take precautions.

But a dry night helped to alleviate the fear of abandonment and allowed the meeting to be given the thumbs-up.

The going is heavy, with racing due to start at 1.50pm.
