THE William Hill Ayr Silver Cup is quite a consolation prize with more than £31,000 going to the winner. That was 20/1 shot Roudee, trained by Tom Dascombe and ridden by Richard Kingscote.

Irish raider An Saighdiur made a bold bid from the front but the challenges came thick and fast approaching the final furlong, with Roudee battling on well to hold Get Knotted by half a length, followed by Fahey’s Nuno Tristan and Eccleston.
