• Plumpton passed inspection but was then called off
• Chepstow beat two inspections before abandonment

Racing at Chepstow was abandoned after two races on Sunday, just hours after Plumpton’s Sussex National meeting was called off despite passing a morning inspection.

Following a Saturday without any jumps or afternoon action, a full programme of National Hunt racing looked set to take place on Sunday after fixtures at Chepstow, Plumpton and Naas were all initially given the go-ahead following morning checks. The team at Chepstow opted to take another look after an initial precautionary inspection at 7.30am and, with temperatures rising, the seven-race card passed a second inspection at 9am.
