Clerk of the Course Andrew Tulloch changed the going on the Grand National course this morning to Soft, good to soft in places (from Good to soft, soft in places) after two millimetres of rain overnight and maintained that going description at the end of the day.

The Mildmay and Hurdle courses remain Good to soft, good in places.

The GoingStick readings at 4pm today were Mildmay course 6.6; Hurdle course 6.4 and Grand National course 5.4

He said: “The National course is retaining the moisture as the majority of the ground has not been raced on since last year’s John Smith’s Grand National meeting.

“We may get a bit of drizzle tomorrow (Thursday) but it is meant to be mainly dry. Friday afternoon and Saturday are forecast to be dry and the temperatures are set to increase as we approach the John Smith’s Grand National.

“The Mildmay and Hurdle courses ride a bit quicker because of a different soil substructure but we will have fresh ground on the bends each day.”

Forecast

Thursday - cloudy at times with possible patchy drizzle am, clearing to give brighter spells in afternoon - 13 degrees.

Friday - cloudy with possible drizzle am. Dry and bright in afternoon -15 degrees.

Saturday - dry with sunshine - 15 degrees
