Verdict

FAIRMAC gained due reward for his consistency as he finally opened his account for the year at Ayr just under 3 weeks ago, well placed the way things unfolded but winning with plenty up his sleeve. Nudged up just 4 lb, Mark Johnston's charge gets the nod to go in again. The main threat could be Hector's Here, who proved better than ever as he resumed winning ways last time, ahead of Gabrials Boy.
