Flat Racing ~ Saturday Aug 11th

2.05 Ascot: Barclays Shergar Cup Dash (Class 2) (5f) It’s a fascinating contest and many in with a chance and obviously the horses are without their usual pilots. I think Elanawin looks dangerous now back in a handicap and has the best Ascot jockey on board in Frankie Dettori and the Hannon horses are running really well. Steps was impressive last time in the hood and his draw on the rail should help him and is worth a saver bet with Hayley Turner on top. I do fear Desert Law on his best form and wouldn’t put anyone off his chances in an open race.

Re: Flat Racing ~ Saturday Aug 11th 12.55 Ascot: Les Ambassadeurs Casino Shergar Cup Mile (Class 2) (1m) A very competitive opening contest for the Shergar Cup and I reckon two of our most experienced jockeys can fight out the finish. Fallon is on Boom And Bust and if he can repeat his Goodwood run he must surely go close here even from a difficult draw. I like Arabian Star with Dettori on top, he looked very progressive before his poor run last time but back on fast ground he can get back to winning ways.
