The National Hunt fixture at Exeter on Tuesday has been abandoned because of a waterlogged track.

Officials at the Devon circuit checked the track on Monday morning but that proved inconclusive and another precautionary inspection was called at 1pm.

And though the snow has now thawed, it has left the course saturated in places.

A tweeted posted by the racecourse read: "We are sorry to say that racing has been abandoned for our March to Exeter fixture tomorrow.
