    Temperatures due to rise over next few days which should be fine

    There are rain showers forecast for the next week

    Concern is Leopardstown has such drainage it might not make much difference

    Also not sure of the implications of watering on ground that is thawing on top but possibly frozen underneath

              Is there a particular day that Will Hill give out the 'double odds' price boost?

                        Not a Cheltenham related topic but Frankie Dettori has announced he will retire at the end of the next flat season.

                        Had a bit of an Indian summer the season before last, would be good to see him go out on a high seeing as he's done a lot to raise the profile of horseracing.

                              Thaw came just a day too late for Navan. Would be able to race tomorrow but that clashes with Punchestown
