Out After Dark on course for Ayr

OUT AFTER DARK has been slashed into favouritism for Saturday’s totesport Ayr Gold Cup after trainer Clive Cox confirmed him firmly on course for the Scottish dash.

With David Nicholls waiting to see how the ground rides before committing his well-fancied pair of Ice Planet and Continent, punters have latched onto Cox's charge.

The four-year-old, who will be aiming to follow up his win in the Portland at Doncaster last week, has been cut from 10-1 into the 8-1 clear favourite with Ladbrokes after solid support.
