This afternoon's meeting at Fakenham has been abandoned following a 7am inspection.

Clerk of the course David Hunter reports snow to have fallen at the track overnight and does not expect the ground to to raceable even once the snow has melted.

He said: "I'm afraid we won't be racing today.

"We have had five centimetres of snow and while we feel that will melt, there are just too many areas of false ground on the course, and melting snow will only make that worse."
