GOOD – the ground is now good. We will have applied 8mm of water by 7pm tonight (Friday). Maybe 2-3mm of rain tomorrow, around 60% chance. We may put a little on tomorrow from the open ditch to fence 5. It’s always the quickest ground. Will assess in the morning. (Friday 21st March – 5.30pm). If you have any questions about the going only, please call Clerk of the Course, Matt King 07796871997 – all other information below.
PLEASE NOTE – All diversions are gone and the roads to the racecourse are open as normal.
