Might be flatter than I'd expected as it does go up around the lake unlike when the Cheshire champs were there, but still hopeful it will be a good run out.

SPR Feb 2023 7:03pm, 24 Feb 2023 39,669 posts	Quote Pin SPR I've been assuming that I could just put 15s in for tomorrow with the amount of runners but it hasn't rained for awhile. What is it like currently in the area larkim ?
larkim Feb 2023 7:17pm, 24 Feb 2023 20,339 posts	Quote Pin larkim Grass is damp as it's not been warm. I'm still going with 15s for the moment, should be soft ground still.
