Royal Ascot 2017 going on Ladies' Day
Clerk of the course Chris Stickels said last night: "We've had another hot day, and probably more drying than yesterday - I saw a temperature of 33 degrees at one point. It has also been quite breezy, so the track will have dried, and we will again be putting five millimetres of water on the whole course overnight.
"There is a slight risk of some thundery showers tomorrow morning, but we feel that if we didn't water, and we didn't get those showers, we really would be very fast - the ground would be too quick.
"Otherwise the course stays exactly the same tomorrow as it has been on the first two days.
"We will be monitoring the weather each day to see if more rain enters the forecast, but we are expecting temperatures to cool off a bit later in the week."
