We have world-class jockeys on display on Saturday afternoon as the Shergar Cup headlines a quality day of action, live on Sky Sports Racing…
3.20 Ascot – Prince Of India and Milford do battle
A cracking renewal of this Class Two Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup Sprint at Ascot.
Prince Of India tops the weights for team Asia and jockey Ryusei Sakai. Marco Botti’s three-year-old has stepped forward with each start, culminating with a dominant display at Newmarket, and he must be feared despite a hike in the weights.
Milford is a solid campaigner who has finished in the money on his last two outings. Slightly unlucky on the latter of those starts at Chester, he rates the chief danger under Hollie Doyle.
Flash Harry has only had three starts, while Up The Pace looks the pick of the remainder.
4.30 Ascot – Miss Information and Urban Lion clash
Miss Information and Urban Lion clash in the Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup Mile, the finale on a super day of action at Ascot.
Miss Information bounced back to form when landing the Kensington Palace Stakes at the Royal meeting and a similar effort would see her go close. She disappointed slightly at Newmarket, but this looks more suitable.
Urban Lion ran a corker when fifth, drawn on the wrong side, in the Royal Hunt Cup and this progressive four-year-old should be in the money under Australian jockey Hugh Bowman.
Golden Mind and Treasure Time have solid place claims.
5.47 Lingfield – Venezuelan and Alibey contest intriguing maiden
A small but select field for this competitive Pristine Homes Maiden Stakes at Lingfield.
Venezuelan is yet to win in six starts but showed enough when third to Shergar Cup runner Tenability at Ascot last month to say he can take a race of this nature.
Alibey, rated 75 after her three outings, looks to have solid chances but might be one for handicaps later down the line.
Wise Counsellor and Bintalina cannot be ruled out in a tight affair.
