Racing at Perth on Wednesday and Thursday has been abandoned due to a waterlogged track.

Following an inspection on Tuesday morning, clerk of the course Harriet Graham said: "We had another 15 millimetres of rain last night and have large areas that are waterlogged.

"I'm afraid with the forecast there is no chance it would dry out in time.

"There's more rain forecast tonight - we've just had so much water over the last five days."

Wednesday's meeting at Chepstow is subject to a precautionary inspection at 8am due to the threat of waterlogging.
