7 d. ago All change at revamped Shergar Cup as Ladies team replaced for Ascot card

Rest of the World team can upset home favourites, while Hugh Bowman has strong shot at being top points scorerA rejigged format for the Shergar Cup at Ascot sees an end to the Ladies team that had been part of the contest since its inception and a move to what are described as more “geographicallybased” teams representing Asia, Great Britain & Ireland, Europe and the Rest of the World.It remains a little contrived at times – Robbie Dolan, for instance, last year’s Melbourne Cup-winning jockey, moved to Australia nearly a decade ago but is in the GB & Ireland lineup – but it is aimed at a slightly different audience to the remainder of Ascot’s programme and there are even more unfamiliar faces than usual this time around.
