      Would love to believe it but just arrived and still drizzling. Should stop soon but going to be very testing.

        The going stick doesn’t lie (except at Haydock]

        • Yes and I claimed it pretty early, but unfortunately I'm Welsh and it always rains in Wales. Just wish people would realise that this is a good racing forum and that we are all trying to be helpful. To me, it was bloody obvious if u had really looked at the forecast and I am just a few quid richer.

          • I think the best thing we can all do is load up on rolls of bounty, sneak in around 6am and see what we can soak up

            • I kind of like it tbh. Horses run on this ground in pretty much all the grade one's, so why not have the festival run on the same ground. The best horses will win in the top races and the handicaps become more interesting. Don't get me wrong, won loads recently, but looking forward to the challenge.

              • Following a dry night the going remains heavy, soft in places at Cheltenham. A dry day is forecast

                    Hope so, soft ground will suit most horses, just hope the 9-10mm off rain on Thursday will not ruin Fridays racing..

                      Hate the word heavy in there... tendency to throw up freak results. Soft ground and the best horses should still rise to the top

                        I would like to think so but t's still pretty damp out there. Lots of cloud cover at the moment and absolutely no wind.

                          Cloudy but hopefully no chance of meatballs...

                          • Hope you get my Somerset weather as full sun is out here and should hit 9c

                            • Arriving into Cheltenham now

                              Sun is out, cloudy but light clouds not the dark ones I’d associate with rain

                              I’d be shocked if it didn’t turn to soft heavy in places before the off
