Indeed, when the surface has been good to soft or worse only Brando in the last ten years has managed to win at Ayr when never having run over further than 6f.

The likes of Highland Colori, Captain Ramius, Our Jonathan and Regal Parade all took advantage of their surfeit of stamina in testing conditions, so while the form book says Son Of Rest deserves to be a fairly warm favourite after his 5f Group 1 second last week, he doesn’t fit the profile of the sort of horse I’m looking for.
