The weather in Cheltenham this morning is overcast but dry and it is forecast to remain dry for the rest of the day with some sunny spells.

The going for both the Hurdle and Chase courses is described as Good to Soft.

Clerk of the Course Simon Claisse said this morning that there was no overnight rain and if the sun does come out there may be some patches of Good ground on both courses as the afternoon progresses.

One early non-runner at Cheltenham is Colin's Sister in the OLBG Mares Hurdle.
