Saturday's BetMGM Clarence House Chase fixture at Ascot has been called off due to a frozen track.

The Berkshire circuit was due to hold a seven-race card with the Grade One feature set to host the mouthwatering rematch between El Fabiolo and Jonbon. A third clash between the pair will not take place this weekend. The track was deemed unraceable after an inspection which took place on today at 4pm with further freezing temperatures forecast.
