Good morning all,

I'll be off to Cheltenham later where I'm chairing the CTCRC meeting, we've got Simon Claisse and Robert Bellamy as speakers, so I'll get the latest on what Simon is expecting in the way of weather in the next week in preparations for Trials Day.

It'll be bottomless at Newbury today – expect a raft of non-runners this morning (five already) – and I might chance a Colossus or two later this morning. I've sorted the heavy grounders out (and those that don't want it) on the main piece this morning, I hope they prove of some benefit to you.
