Race preview

Second in a point-to-point in March, CITY OF DIAMONDS represents a trainer/jockey combination that often do well around here and market support ahead of his Rules debut would be noteworthy. Travis Wheatley has tasted success between the flags and he must be considered on his NH bow, along with Masterpiece. The latter stepped up on his racecourse debut when not beaten far into third at Sedgefield latest and there could be more come.
