It should pay to go into the Weatherbys Super Sprint with plenty of Hope.
There’s 21 inexperienced two-year-olds lining up for the Newbury contest so it might look like a minefield but DARE TO HOPE (3.30) has what it takes to land this sales race. The form of his debut win over 5f at Nottingham could not have worked out much better. Runner-up Rocket Rodney went on to finish second in the Windsor Castle Stakes at Royal Ascot before bolting up in a Sandown Listed race.
The step up to 6f didn’t suit Dare To Hope at Ripon on his second start but he was far from disgraced in going down by a shorthead when trying to give weight away all round. His trainer Richard Fahey has won this race three times in the last nine years so he knows exactly what it takes to land this prize. Have 2pts each-way at 16-1. Several bookies are paying out on five places.
