In depth
Verdict
The betting suggested CARBON POSITIVE would come good at Brighton last time and Bob Cowell’s charge duly obliged. He has scope for further progress and can go in again. Good Earth and Aramis Grey won their penultimate starts while Silver Nemo completed a course and distance double back in April but Lethal Angel is preferred a recent second in a higher grade sprint at Nottingham. Kath's Lustre also drops back down in class having won over 5f here earlier.
