Cheltenham soft, heavy in places

The official going description is soft, heavy in places for the third day of the Cheltenham festival.

There was 9mm of rain overnight at Prestbury Park. Action takes place on the New course for the first time today so it will be fresh ground. Un De Sceaux looks the headline act on day three of the festival and he goes to post at 2.50pm for the Ryanair Chase.
