Cheltenham Festival
STRONG winds from Storm Gareth could scupper the second day of the Cheltenham Festival.
Organisers issued a warning that the expected gales of up to 50mph could affect temporary structures set up at the racecourse tomorrow.
Clerk of the courese Simon Claisse said: "We wanted to give everyone an early insight into conditions for tomorrow as the forecast is looking challenging, with strong gusting winds throughout the day.
"We are continually monitoring the situation and will keep racegoers informed as the conditions present themselves."
