I think it was in the times this morning about it. Looking like its going to be like this for at least next week so make hay while the sun shines this weekend!

Jumps off at Lingers on Saturday but hoping to switch to AW. Chelts OK at the moment subject to forcast but XC course a bit dodgy.

Still shocking weather over there in Europe it looks like.

A slight thaw and good ground keeping seems to have opened a window for the high quality Cheltenham meets this weekend, Cheltenham could be the last decent chance this month for the UK racing, with the weather likely to close in again for the rest of December.

According to news you have to go all the way back to 1993 to see weather as bad. I do remember 1993 vividly, since I was in London in November that year, and yes it snowed and it was ice cold then.

Fairyhouse abandons for a third time but Cheltenham goes ahead, apart from the XC chase. It's Cheltenham or bust guys!

I had this strange dream last night that there were three cards on today. Have I woken up yet?

Downpatrick gone, Ascot inspects again at 11am, first race 11:55. We are just south of Ascot and it doesn't look too bad at the moment. Tomorrow is another question!
