This afternoon's meeting at Haydock, featuring the Tommy Whittle Chase, has been abandoned due to snow.
Clerk of the course Kirkland Tellwright had called an 8am inspection due to an adverse forecast but just after 6am their fate was sealed.
Tellwright said: "It was not a difficult decision. Even the motorway is blocked. We've got about eight inches on the track. The trouble was it was very dry so it settled immediately."
He added: "It snowed in the first half of the night so it made the decision easy."
