Three features are amongst the nine races on today’s Kenilworth card that commences at 12h10.
The meeting will be run on the winter course, which was looking in magnificent condition yesterday.

The Winter Classic duel between champion One World and Vardy – previewed here – looks to be a highlight of the afternoon.
The false rail is in the original position with a 3m spur at the 470m mark.
The Bipot gets under way at 12h45 in the second race.
