    Ok, it’s probably going to finish last but I have tried one at a big price.

    In recent seasons the horses that had run in the Richmond Stakes (Group 2, 6 furlongs Glorious Goodwood) have gone on to run well in this race. Looking at last 5 seasons, there are 8 horses that had run in the Richmond. This is how they did in the Middle Park.

    7th of 10 (25/1)
    2nd of 6 (1/2)
    1st of 7 (1/2)
    3rd of 7 (25/1)
    2nd of 10 (11/10)
    3rd of 10 (6/1)
    4th of 10 (10/1)
    3rd of 12 (14/1)

    I know most of them are shorter prices but only 1 out of 8 has finished out of first 4. MARIES DIAMOND (80/1) was only beaten a length (2nd) in the Richmond last time, he had earlier finished half length 2nd in another Group 2 over 6 furlongs, the Railway Stakes in Ireland before winning a Group 3. Today is Group 1 so I am not expecting him to win but I think he can run well enough as he has proved himself to be a Group 2/3 horse. Also look at Mark Johnston’s runners in this race in recent seasons. This is typical of the early season runner with a busy campaign that Johnston runs in this race. Last 3 seasons this is how his runners have done in this race.

    2015 - Buratino, rated 113, 2nd of 7 @ 13/2
    2016 - The Last Lion, rated 105, won @ 25/1
    2017 - Card Sharp, rated 109, 3rd of 12 @ 14/1 (had also run in Richmond Stakes (3rd) earlier in season)

    Maries Diamond is rated 108

    As I say, it’s probably going to finish last but I have backed it each way at 80/1 (3 places), 40/1 (4 places) & 20/1 (5 places). Hoping he can at least finish in first 5.

    Good luck.

    Hi Stainless, I backed it with Betfair Sportsbook, I see they have just cut it to 66/1 now. I am not sure but I think other bookies offer similar prices too.

    betfair 5 places is normally a good few points behind bet365

    Joe, when you click to back each way on Betfair Sportsbook, you can choose the option of extra or fewer places, it’s called each way edge.

    yes i see it very similar to bet 365 but as a general rule bet365 are much better place odds
    however not 5 in this case 5/8 yikes
