Shergar Cup day at Ascot. I am not a fan of the concept as far as betting is concerned, too many jockeys riding tracks they do not know and horses they have never sat on before. It's a novelty once a year and interesting to see the different jockeys but it doesn't really get me over excited. If you simply must have a bet the European team to win would be my advice but I will not be getting involved.
Up North its is Rose of Lancaster day and I fancy the mare Les Fazzani to take the race. Back on her preferred soft going, she has won here before has Hanagan on board and Kevin Ryan has had four winners already this month - Get on!
Also at Haydock Breakheart has been in great from this year wining twice and being beaten only a neck and a nose on the subsequent two runner up efforts. The soft going today is an unknown for the Balding gelding but I was a massive fan of the sire Sakhee and he certainly liked to get a toe in and a big run is expected.
Over at Newmarket the boys in blue have a couple of likely sorts in the shape of Psychic Ability and White Moonstone. Psychic Ability won on his seasonal reappearance and with the usual expected improvement for that run the Kingmambo colt can win the opener. White Moonstone won her maiden at Ascot nicely going away in the final furlong, the way she did that and her breeding would suggest the extra furlong today will suit.
Be lucky
