IT’S not easy to pick holes in the case for Binhareer in this afternoon’s Ladbrokes Ayr Gold Cup.

He is a progressive young sprinter who is proven at the track, on the ground and over the distance, and for whom his excellent trainer William Haggas – who sent out Nahaarr to win the race in 2020 – has probably had the race in mind for a while, possibly for 12 months.
