Rathbone struggled in the Silver Cup at Ayr when bidding for a hat-trick but Ascot Adventure won the Ayr Bronze Cup before placing at the same track with Snazzy Jazzy behind. Yorkshire and Mondammej are others dropping back down a grade while Secret Guest beat Sparkling Red when successful at Redcar. But DARE TO HOPE (NAP) is taken to confirm latest running with The Turpinator having won a decent Class 2 sprint at Ripon last time and Richard Fahey’s charge gets the vote.
