Powerful, drying winds prevalent. How can they do anything else?
Exactly 4cm of rain on Saturday and the CoC is watering at a reading of 4.5. Should be a criminal offence.
GoingStick Reading Going Description (UK/Europe)
0.0 – 4.0 Heavy, very soft, and waterlogged
4.1 – 6.0 Soft, with noticeable give in the surface
5.0 – 6.9 Good to Soft
7.0 – 8.9 Good
8.1 – 10.0 Good going, ideal for fast racing
9.0 – 10.9 Good to Firm
Watering at a going stick less than 7 should not be allowed by the authorities. Even then it is debatable, to water at 4.5 needs an enquiry imo.

So if the ground was 7.0 on Saturday how many runners do you think the Chases would have this weekend. Proper Jump horses need proper soft ground
