Sense Of Reason
17/2
WESTLAIN scored with such authority when doubling his hurdles tally at Huntingdon earlier this month that a 9 lb rise may not stop him going in again. His main threat looks Diamonds Galore now she's going handicapping, while Sense of Reason is totally unexposed after just 2 runs in this sphere.

Race Hints

Specific Pace Hint: The pace doesn’t look like being overly strong here and Diamonds Galore should still be served best by being ridden prominently: The leaders will have to go harder than the predicted pace forecast if the hold-up horses such as Westlain are going to come into things.
Individual Price Hint: Regal Cavalier traded at 10% or less of Betfair SP twice and 50% or less of Betfair SP on 3 of its last 4 starts: Sense Of Reason traded at 10% or less of Betfair SP twice on its last 2 starts.
