The National Hunt meeting scheduled for Fontwell on Sunday has been abandoned due to waterlogging.

Officials inspected the course on Friday morning following heavy rain during the week.

With further rain expected during the day and overnight, the decision was taken to abandon.

Britain's only remaining meeting on Sunday is at Sedgefield, with Punchestown set to hold a high-class card in Ireland featuring the Tied Cottage Chase.
