Hall of Fame trainer Bill Ryan hopes his talented stayer Sh’bourne Renegade can run a forward race in the Tasmanian Bloodstock Summer Cup in Hobart on Sunday to convince him to progress the gelding to his first main mission, the Ladbrokes Hobart Cup.

Hall of fame trainer Bill Ryan admits Sh’bourne Renegade’s main mission is the Ladbrokes Launceston Cup with hopes to go one better than last season when he was beaten in a three-way photo finish for a second to Glass Warrior.
