Wednesday racing: Kempton's meeting abandoned due to burst pipe
Kempton's evening card has been abandoned following a burst water pipe in the local area, but there are five other meetings in Britain and Ireland, with Fontwell and Punchestown serving up the day's jumps action.
Fans of the Flat can indulge in racing at Yarmouth and Haydock in the afternoon, with Hamilton taking over evening duties.
Yarmouth's card has, however, been hit by non-runners because of the ground, which is soft, having been good, good to firm in places on declaration morning on Monday.
