The going for day three of Royal Ascot today is Good to Firm.
Chris Stickels, Clerk of the Course at Ascot, said at 9.30am: “We had 2.4 millimetres of rain overnight and it is just starting to rain lightly now.
“We may see an occasional shower this morning before racing and a possible sharp shower this afternoon.”
The running rail on the Round Course that was positioned approximately three yards out from approximately nine furlongs out to the Home Straight on Tuesday and Wednesday has been removed, providing fresh ground.
The weather was predicted to bring 2.4 millimetres rain overnight to 6.30am Thursday. Occasional showers are possible this morning, then possible sharp afternoon showers. Thunderstorms are expected on Friday (8 to 12 millimetres forecast). Possible occasional showers for Saturday.
