Verdict

Dark Profit won last year’s renewal off a slightly higher mark but has been well beaten in both starts so far this year. The consistent Jacob Black should run his race again though that wasn’t good enough when placed at Carlisle last time and while Our Charlie Brown is back on a winning mark he has found one too good the last twice now. EXPLAIN (NAP) never figured back over 6f last month but has every chance on his earlier third over today’s distance at Ayr and Ruth Carr’s charge may prove good enough having won three times off higher marks last year.
