Cheltenham weather forecast

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
 
Two dry days to come now... by tomorrow afternoon soft ground all round or any better than that?

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
 
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
