With the Cheltenham Festival just three weeks away clerk of the course Simon Claisse has confirmed his intention to start watering the track.
As always Claisse's aim is to have the ground as good as possible for the opening day of the National Hunt Festival on March 13.
Following a dry February the ground is currently quicker than Claisse would like it to be and he has decided to turn on the taps to ensure conditions are close to ideal come the start of the Festival.
"As expected, warmer weather is on the way and I think it will be 15 or 16C by the end of the week," Claisse said.
"We were pretty much frozen from Festival Trials Day up to last Tuesday and we will start watering the course from Wednesday, primarily to active the fertiliser we put on the ground.
"We are currently good, good to firm in places and without between six and seven millimetres of water, we would be good to firm by Monday.
"We have had a very dry February and we are trying to maintain the ground at good."
