Becher meeting at Aintree passes inspection This afternoon's meeting at Aintree has been given the go-ahead following a morning inspection but track officials will continue to monitor conditions. Andrew Tulloch, clerk of the course at the Merseyside venue, announced a precautionary check for 8.30am due to the threat of snow overnight. He is happy to give the fixture the green light, while issuing a slight warning about the possibility of further snow. Tulloch said: "We're going ahead. The roads are white this morning but the grass is fine and as things stand we're raceable. "I've just looked at the radar and there are showers heading this way from the north west and I just don't want that to be snow. We'll monitor conditions but at the moment we're good to go." A seven-race card gets under way at 11.55am, with the Randox Health Becher Chase (1.30pm) over the Grand National fences taking centre stage.
