Musselburgh has stepped in to help during the cold snap by staging last weekend's abandoned meeting this Saturday.
The East Lothian course was thwarted by the weather when attempting to hold their big jumping card last Sunday, which features the John Smith's Scottish Champion Chase, John Smith's Scottish Triumph Hurdle and John Smith's Future Champions Novices' Chase.
The British Horseracing Authority offered tracks the opportunity to hold another meeting, with several of the other courses staging fixtures potentially at risk to the elements.
Musselburgh's card will be similar to last week with the first race at 1.30pm.
The track tweeted: "Fixture reschedule for Saturday 11 February is CONFIRMED - John Smiths Scottish Cheltenham Trials racecard...".
Musselburgh general manager Bill Farnsworth said: "It was very frustrating as we were so close on Sunday - the track was raceable by the end of the day - but we've got a second chance.
"Between all the various parties we've got £75,000 of prize money to offer and it depends on what the BHA decide to put on.
"We started off on the basis that we would run the same races, although the conditions might have to be tweaked slightly so we are not stepping on anyone else's toes.
"But we want to be staging races for horses which might end up at the big festivals and hopefully the trainers will be supportive again."
Assessing conditions, Farnsworth added: "Forecasts are not easy to call but we have spoken to the Met Office and we should be able to get the frost out today and it is forecast to be less cold tonight.
"After tonight it should only get down to 2C or 3C in the night and eventually get up to 9C. We are set for between two and five millimetres of rain between now and Saturday and it looks the ideal forecast really as we would like to be able to offer goodish ground."
