Friday's meeting at Chepstow has fallen by the wayside due to a waterlogged track.

Course officials inspected the at 8.30am on Thursday morning but following further rain overnight on top of a substantial amount the previous day, the decision was taken to call a halt to proceedings early.

Clerk of the course Keith Ottesen said: "It is raining now and has been since 6am.

"It is due to continue for another two to three hours and then start again at midnight.

"There is no chance the course will recover in that time. We had half an inch yesterday and the course simply can't take any more so we thought we'd let people know early."
