Kelso to race after temperatures rise

Today's meeting at Kelso has been given the go-ahead after milder weather arrived overnight.

With the course frozen in places yesterday, the fixture had been subject to an 8am inspection but with temperatures improving to 4C before daylight, an early decision was made to race.
