Declan Carroll is one man who is pleased the new Flat season will begin on soft ground as his William Hill Lincoln hope Swiftly Done is at his best when the mud is flying.
One man not pleased with all the recent rain is George Baker for his potential runner, Belgian Bill. He ended last season in great form and has had a couple of recent runs in Dubai. Writing on his blog on www.georgebakerracing.com he said: "Belgian Bill with Jim Crowley jocked up for Saturday's Lincoln. "But the ground (is) a worry, a big worry. The track does drain well, but whether "good to soft" will feature by Saturday is debatable. As ever, (it is) in the hands of the weather Gods, who do their very best to make our lives as tough as possible."
