I have recently scarified and find that I get a lot of wormcasts whenever I do this .Is it ok to mow when these are present?

Only mow when the soil and grass is dry and rake the wormcasts or disperse them by sweeping with a broom or besom before mowing, otherwise you'll end up with muddy patches where weed seeds will happily germinate.
With any luck there will be besoms (witches' brooms
) going cheap after next weekend.
