Big freeze halts jump racing

There will be no jump racing in England this weekend. Following Friday morning inspections, the meetings at Ascot, Warwick and Uttoxeter have been abandoned because of freezing conditions.

The only action will be on the flat at the all-weather fixtures of Lingfield and Southwell.

There is a covering of snow with frost underneath at Ascot, Warwick reports frost in the ground, while freezing temperatures gave Uttoxeter no chance of racing.
