    Simon Claisse not too worried as winds will be from a different direction than in 2008

    Tomorrow is just rain, which is due to come in overnight. Wednesday is the wind but they can’t really hold an inspection for that. There’s nothing anywhere else about it.

    What was their reason for it DG?

    Typical Racing Post. You gave me heart failure there DG. From the latest forecast it looks like the worst of the rain now could be clear before the start of racing tomorrow.

    Old Course, Good to Soft, Soft in places. GoingStick: reading 6.2 at 7:00am. Forecast blustery winds, with up to 11mm rainfall by racing tomorrow afternoon.

    Lads is a reading of 6.2 not nearer to soft to heavy, quite optimistic too call it good to soft. anyway there is another 11 mil to come before tomorrows racing.

    Although looking at the forecast, wind speed is expected to drop off significantly after noon.
