Heavy Ground?

Must be, been raining non stop here (20 miles away) and looking at the forecast its going to rain until 1pm ish

Could be bottomless imo

Cross Country course is having an inspection on Wednesday as the course is waterlogged

6mm of rain this morning and another 4-6mm expected before racing.
Soft to Heavy in places already

Just back all the horses that go on heavy innit.

Both Kim Bailey horses in the Ultima should like the conditions
I've backed both already at better odds than available now, but this rain means I shall top up a bit, especially on Trelawne

Gl all

now had 9mm overnight.

Sadly looks the case , not ideal, not a fan of testing ground for betting on??

sloppy going

A 5 star bore on the Severn
Lurvely boating weather

11mm anther 2-3 befor first race
Met office wether spot on

Heavy all over in hour

X county possibly Friday now

A 5 star bore on the Severn
Lurvely boating weather

Must be odd looking ooota ya window and seeing a line of surfers coming up the estuary at 20Km/h

bloke in a dustbin one yr

Refuse to believe that one

true, mart lent his board to his brother who broke the world trick record over 1 mile and mart clocked 30mph in the dustbin using a couple of baguettes as oars

betting says this current walk around has tipped to heavy

Mart's brother was repointing an overbridge when the scaffolding collapsed but luckily he landed on a plank [no not Mart] and surfed all the way to Maisemore where he dried out in the White Hart pub.

Picture is on the wall.

next to his bungee onto the tyre carrier ship and his 100m dip at the 82 commonwealth games after they took a wrong turn and ended up running down the track

the 3.7 earlier was lower than the 4.4 opening of 2018 and that was a heavy soft in places, that top of hill must be just the difference at that time

marts brothers pub with the full size football pitch in the cellar jonathon ross and richard branson playing keepy uppy after a skinfull in the bar . great storys form the legendary big man .

It is going to be very interesting.

I have had to listen to people tell that it wont be heavy, i have spent most of this winter flood protecting but they know better.

miss port a reeko watching on (girl from kebab shop)

starting to wonder if they are going to lead with heavy, they've had every chance and not gone and it's def stopped raining

Been walking t'course for 1hr 15 mins.

Stuck in the
QUAGMIRE

bet it changes after a race should they go soft / heavy in places

was genuine g/s for the end of jan card so this unprecedented wet winter talk is total bs

Sure to be soft, heavy in places. Could even be heavy by the second race. So much for all of the confident good/soft predictions. BBC weather right again. Wet on Sunday and wet this morning.

I am not in Cheltenham but after 4 nearly dry days here in Somerset, the torrential overnight rain has started the flood alerts all over again. Right across the roads in places today.

Sage, on the local news last night, a farmer near Wedmore being interviewed, don't know if you saw it? Basically saying couldn't get cattle out into the fields, never seen it so flooded etc

February was brutal, the water table is high as it has ever been but maybe not in the cotswolds.

I do know him Reg. 600 cattle and 70% of his land under water since Xmas. Only a mile up the road from me but we are OK.

Just the 3 nrunners so far
Must be good to firm!!!

The ground looks ok.

4.13 FIRST RACE
HEAVY

Time 4m. 12.87 secs, which is 6.20 secs slower than the course average on today's going

Time 4m. 8.36 secs, which is 3.42 secs slower than the course average on today's going

they are 2 heavy ground times

Not so heavy on the chase course!!!

Slade steel was already 14 seconds behind Constitution Hills course record jumping the last.

Off 3.30
Time 4m. 13.88 secs, which is 0.73 secs slower than the course average on today's going

Intersting result for the pertemps
7th hoss was a good ground hoss
