It is rare to see the going listed as anything other than heavy at Plumpton, especially at this time of year, but unless the predicted early showers get into ground early on Wednesday, we'll be dealing with good to soft/soft conditions.

Efficient jumpers who relish a slog are usually given upmost respect at the East Sussex venue but there will now be extra emphasis on speed, especially on the long run down the hill for the final time.
