John Francome used to reckon there were TWO shades of going difference between the codes so what would be called Good to Firm over Jumps would be Good to Soft.

Mixed meetings back in the day like the Whitbread (which had the Classic Trial the same day) often gave evidence of this.

I think it's more like one shade myself and, anyway, I take a lot more notice of stick readings than official glimg descriptions.

But it doesn't entirely surprise me to hear they're calling it Good to Soft on the Flat course despite "spring ground" over Jumps there of late.
