Snow brought British racing virtually to a halt today but the sole surviving meeting at Southwell proved fertile ground for Lincolnshire trainer Conor Dore.

Dore made it two in as many days at the Nottinghamshire venue when Ace of Spies cruised comfortably clear in the Bet On The Ashes At totesport.com Handicap, while he managed to claim Camps Bay, an absurdly easy winner earlier on the card.
