• Ascot remains confident of full fields on Saturday
Ascot racecourse is confident of full fields for all seven races at its annual Shergar Cup meeting on Saturday, despite reopening three of the contests at the five-day stage in an attempt to attract more entries.
There is less certainty, however, that Frankie Dettori will be able to captain the Europe team in the four‑way jockeys’ contest, as Britain’s best‑known rider could be required to ride at Haydock Park or Newmarket for his principal trainer, John Gosden.
