After 37mm rainfall in the past 18 hours, very sadly we have had to abandon racing at Cheltenham on Friday 15 November, as the course is flooded in areas as well as waterlogged in places.

Ahead of racing on Saturday, there will be a further inspection on Friday afternoon at 3pm. Further information will be issued accordingly.

The weather outlook for the next few days is showers on Friday with dry days currently forecast for Saturday and Sunday.

All those with pre-purchased admission tickets and car parking for racing on Friday will be automatically refunded via the original payment method.

The Tattersalls Cheltenham November Sale will now take place in the Tattersalls Sales arena at 1.00pm on Friday 15 November.
