Latest going report Cheltenham

A wise old owl once told me that in the UK you should ignore any weather forecast over 5 days as it’s little more than guess work. A slight alteration to any of the variables used in the forecast can cause a major change in the outcome.

That’s probably not really news to most on here but it’s worth mentioning.

I'd agree with that but to be fair, while the 5 day is usually pretty certain, the period 5-10 days is normally more right than dead wrong, but I understand what you are saying. Seen plenty of examples of the midlands get a lot of rain while Cheltenham missed out as well when I lived there.

That first bit of green appears. Will be a bit more tomorrow and then we'll have to see how much rain arrives Wed/Thurs.

And to show how things can change, the rain with heavy outbursts that we in Ireland are due tomorrow, is also expected to hit Wales, again quite heavy and sustained. However, at the moment it is not envisaged to hit the course.

You'd feel for the Clerk of the Course and his team at this point.

Am I a bad person if I don't feel for them?

That changed quickly as we know it can.
They're going to need that rain at the end of the week...

Just been updated. They've been heavy on the green crayons. It's now more good to soft than soft. I'd say the rain when it comes will be a godsend.

Looks to be a breezy few days between now & Tuesday too, which will help it dry out

[opatcho]

Yeah, I didn’t think we’ll see much green going into next week….

Need to stop checking the forecast so much, it’s the British weather, makes Mullins looks decisive

[ToniC]

Any combination of green and yellow is fine with me I think. Wouldn’t even bemoan yellow all over for day one.

[Lobos]

Anything worse than on the Soft side of Good then we could all be in trouble. Feels like the whole of this seasons form has been on decent ground.

Quite like seeing the green… gives more confidence for tiger

It will go back to yellow by next Tuesday with forecast rain.

[Irish Rugby]

Will it though be that much rain though to push it back to soft, given that the forecast is showers and not many. With the largely dry days, this rain will just keep it good to soft than going any more softer.

I see you live there so you'll know sooner than the rest of us. Do let us know if you get any rain later today. Many thanks.
