City of Life 1:48 Ayr. I put this up not as a betting proposition - the price has gone, 6/4atm from 9/4 overnight, but as an example of the “debut handicap, down in Class, up in distance” angle. His last run at Yarmouth was his handicap debut etc etc and I think he was up for it then as he had no right to be starting at 5/1 given his 3 qualifying runs, albeit as a 2yo, of course. In that race he was badly hampered three out and but for that I think he would have gone close.
