In an open-looking race, it could pay to take a chance on CUEROS who impressed when successful on hurdling debut and remains open to improvement back on better ground for his handicap debut. Afadil recovered from a sluggish start to finish third in a better race at Sandown last time and has a good record here, while Admiralty House has been given a chance by the handicapper if he can race more efficiently.

Race Hints
Specific Pace Hint: The pace doesn’t look like being overly strong here and City Of Diamonds should still be served best by being ridden prominently: The forecast decent pace still isn’t likely to sway the advantage towards those usually ridden further back such as is Afadil.
Individual Price Hint: Admiralty House traded at 10% or less of Betfair SP, 25% or less of Betfair SP and 50% or less of Betfair SP on 3 of its last 5 starts.
