Latest going report Cheltenham

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

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.
 
The timing is as important as the amount of rain, and at the moment Sunday Monday and Tuesday itself have minimal rain so if the current yr.no forecast pans out perfectly I'd be favouring predominantly good-soft to open.

forecast 14/15 degrees early next week, must be the warmest start to a festival in a while ?

The weather next week looks bloody superb. Was saying rain but BBC now saying no rain 13-15 degrees which is just perfect!

Yep looks grand, best turned out could have some contenders, the horses too :tongue-new:
 
Latest forecast predicts heavy rain next wednesday...12mm
 
Hasn't been updated since Tuesday. Looks like Cheltenham has had very little rain if any since that update. Must be g/s almost all round by now. Surprised the RP app news section hasn't focused in on the weather yet. Sure they'll start doing so now. I'd say the rain that is due will be ideal as that keeps it g/s. Again, not going to be a meeting for mudlarks.

Betfair sportsbook have 1/2 good to soft. Very fair price.
 
Good to soft everywhere, and they're threatening to get the hosepipes out if rain isn't significant.
Someone clever can put the link/map up...
 
Tomorrow looks a very important day in terms of rain
 
Do we have any weather update for the week ? We are going Wednesday and saw 12mm of rain potential yesterday
