1pt each-wayGiven the non-stop rain at Goodwood on Wednesday it won’t be a great surprise if the going turns up heavy for day three on Thursday.

The Met Office forecast the heavy rain would last until the early hours of this morning, so it makes sense to concentrate on horses who have shown some form with cut and the obvious favourite for the opening Matchbook Betting Exchange Handicap (1.50) is Addeybb, who won on good to soft on his second start and is by Pivotal.

Stall 13 is unlikely to be much of a negative considering they are likely to swing wide into the straight, but at a bigger price I prefer the chances of , who promises to relish a soft surface.
