Wolverhampton forced to abandon

Today’s fixture at Wolverhampton has become the latest casualty of the big freeze.

Although the Polytrack surface is not frozen, particles of compressed ice within the track proved a major stumbling block.

Clerk of the course Fergus Cameron said: “We managed to remove the snow yesterday and worked the track this morning.

“There has been a significant improvement, but there are still a few lumps of ice in the track.

“There is insufficient confidence in a rise in temperature to bring about further improvement.”
