Cheltenham’s International Hurdle card has been abandoned following morning inspections due to frozen ground after temperatures of –5C overnight.
That meeting has been abandoned alongside Doncaster's Saturday card, featuring the Summit Juvenile Hurdle, with groundstaff unable to cover the track on Friday evening after racing on Friday.
Cheltenham had also raced on Friday after surviving inspections on Friday morning, but the freezing temperatures made the ground unsafe to race on.
Hereford followed suit at 9:30am after a second inspection, while Navan's Saturday card had already been called off.
Newcastle's all-weather card was cancelled after concerns over frozen parts of the tapeta surface led to a late inspection.
All-weather racing from Wolverhampton still gets the go-ahead, with all races live on Sky Sports Racing.
