Fucking rained all day here in Somerset. Fingers crossed Taunton got some so they can start racing.
 
Its been raining since about 6pm. First 40 mins was more of a drizzle (think intermittent windscreen wipers) but then it rained more solidly for an hour (not lashing it down but constant rainfall) and for the past 40 mins we've been back to "intermittent windscreen wiper" type drizzle. There are puddles on the ground so its welcome but certainly not enough to materially alter the ground at all.

Love Me Tender got 154 RPR for RPR fans.

Think that's high myself but they were obviously impressed.
Imagine if he'd have jumped better ?

Minella Machine got 121

That's a huge difference. Not sure they were that far apart. Visually was impressed with the Machine. I'm not an expert with RPR's though. Henry was very happy which goes a long way.

Nope. Pissed down in Bristol for 6 hours so Cheltenham must have got away with it. Shame really as there will be plenty not declared now. The ones I've backed appreciate Good ground though so could work out ok.

:ROFLMAO: This made me laugh more than it should.
How far does it go though ?
 
If the lack of rain wasn't enough to worry about it looks like we get clear skies and bright sun all Fri and Sat, chances are we'll see fewer obstacles than expected...
