Cheltenham turn on the taps

Cheltenham began watering the Old Course on Thursday with mainly dry weather now forecast.

The going remains good to soft, good in places on all three courses with four millimetres of water applied to the track where racing takes place on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Original weaher forecasts had suggested the track may get up to 12 millimetres of rain before racing begins next week but they've since been revised.

The latest Sky News forecast is for potential rain showers on Saturday but predominately dry every other day.
