Lingfield's National Hunt meeting tomorrow has been abandoned due to a frozen track.

After several freezing nights more frosts are forecast leaving officials with no choice but to draw stumps.

Clerk of the course Neil Mackenzie Ross said: "The course is still under snow and it is frozen underneath.

"Temperatures are forecast to dip below freezing again tonight, with an even harsher frost coming Tuesday night, with temperatures possibly getting down to -7C.

"It will barely get above freezing on Wednesday, so we have no chance of racing and we've made an early decision."
