CHISWICK BEY rarely races in soft ground but has won on it in the past. He’s been threatening to score off today’s mark and finished third at Pontefract last time. None of today’s opposition arrive in good form though Jordan James won over track and trip last year off a 6lb lower mark while Mustaqbal and Someone Exciting have both gone close in heavy going before so will be hoping for more rain. Geordie George made a winning start back in 2014 but hasn’t won since in 26 further attempts.
