Latest going report Cheltenham

charlie get the walking boots out...
 
Had a fair bit of rain here (Cheltenham) the last week but if its dry for 7 days and above 10 degrees it will be firmly in good to soft...then it depends how much of the light rain scheduled the weekend before the festival happens we get (bbc has a lot of 20% probability). Think we will end up of the gooder side of good to soft

** Copied and pasted from the RSA thread in case it interests everyone - mods feel free to delete the other...

Was watching a met forecast this am (for the first time ever and found it really interesting cos I'm a nerd - they showed some of the simulation models they've run!) and they actually haven't got a clue which way it's gonna go towards the back end of next week any more. They were pretty sure that it would be dry before but the latest models are suggesting it will either be cold and dry or warmer and wetter. They're not expecting anything in between and actually the most recent models suggest warmer and wetter.

Here's the link in case anyone is interested. https://twitter.com/metoffice/status...48132767666176 Last couple of minutes shows the uncertainty back end of next week.

I use YR Weather, have done me well over the year. They are forecasting 7.2m of rain next Friday , followed by 21mm on the Sunday. Thats soft-heavy come Tuesday (if the forecast holds)

You cant blame trainers and owners for waiting till the last minute before declaring, especially these that could feature in more than 1 race

A soft-heavy festival could lead to a number of shock results, most of the form this season (plus last years festival) has been over quick ground

Obviously a long way out, forecast could change.
Continuing to refreshing daily though :watermelon:
