Answer 1

I work in racing and BHA Race Planning have just emailed me the revised schedules for Thursday and Friday:

Answer 4

There will be 10 races on Thursday, and nine on Friday, with racing starting at 1230 GMT each day.

Wednesday's feature race was due to be the Queen Mother Champion Chase which will now be run on Thursday along with nine other races, including the World Hurdle.

The Gold Cup showdown between Kauto Star and Denman will still take place on Friday as part of a nine-race card.

Just makes my day out in Glasgow tomorro a lot more interesting and with Rangers v Bremen at night who could ask for  a betterday of sport.
