    Looking at the forecast it’s going to be too cold to dry out and with heavy rain forecast before racing it certainly looks like proper soft going for the first day

    difficult to say how much we have had – a series of short sharp blustery showers today – windy and sunny inbetween. Not that cold but meant to be dry later / tonight / tomorrow morning with rain monday night. 8)

    More rain in Cheltenham since mid afternoon. Not heavy though,
    Anyone backing a good ground horse on Tuesday will be wasting their dosh.

    Clear now but ended up quite wet this afternoon – we had hail at some point :shock: . Wont be good for Tuesday but I wouldnt rule it out towards the end of the week – depends how it dries up – it is meant to get warmer. The concern would be the supposed rain that is due Monday night could be pretty soft on Tues.

    Yep disappointed also. I really like Jered and more to the point, I really wanted to see the great Character Harchi allowed to show his best and give us some intrigue.

    Who knows, maybe the rain will still hold off. Terrible wind in Birmingham, seems lot like last year.

    Dry,Sunny, quite windy so far – will be starting to dry out and its clothes drying weather 8) – going to chance it with my washing . Beginning to cloud over a bit now – starting to look showery but dry so far. Forcast I saw was for 1/2 inch rain so its up to the gods now but this is meant to be the last significant rain of the week :D
