"There’s been no change to the official going overnight and we have been selectively watering the Mildmay Course since 6am this morning.

The forecast is for a dry, sunny day today with a maximum temperature of 17 degrees, with cloud increasing overnight.
Friday’s forecast is for a dry day with sunny spells, a maximum temperature of 15 degrees and variable amounts of cloud. Some rain is anticipated overnight after racing on Friday with most expected to fall between 3am and 8am on Saturday morning.
On Saturday, John Smith’s Grand National Day, it is expected to be dry by late morning with skies brightening by lunchtime to give a sunny afternoon. There is a low risk of a few light showers during the afternoon.
