Yaaser failed in a bid for a hat-trick when second at Ayr while Far From A Ruby was beaten by the latter before placing on her last couple of starts.

A course and distance winner in April, John Quinn’s charge went close off today’s mark at Redcar last time. Bobby Shaftoe finished in front of both How Bizarre and Sparkle In His Eye when runner-up here on his penultimate start.
