The weather is fine but the damage has been done. A weekend of rain has left the turf course heavy, soft in places, for Tuesday's opening day of the four-day National Hunt festival at Cheltenham.
Temps are in the 50s, with partly cloudy skies - good weather.
Here's a glance at scratches
Race 1 - Trainwreck (16)
Race 4 - My Tent or Yours (10) and Verdana Blue (13)
