Hollie Doyle, the leading rider at the 2023 Shergar Cup, shares her insights on the upcoming international competition at Ascot, which will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Racing. Chris Mason, a Welsh trainer, has a strong chance with All Ways Glamorous in the Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup Dash, while Europe's Bolo Neighs and Great Britain and Ireland's Spartan Arrow are also contenders.
Shrimp Shady, trained by Andrew Balding, is a young horse with great potential in the Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup Stayers. The Ian Williams-trained Hermetic, with Christophe Lemaire on board, could be a dark horse for Europe. Castle Stuart, representing Hong Kong, has a good chance in the Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup Challenge, while Night Breeze, ridden by Dylan Browne McMonagle, is the likely favorite. Thunder Call, who didn't perform well at Newmarket, can bounce back in the Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup Sprint, and Cape Ashizuri is one to watch for Great Britain and Ireland.
Archers Bay, trained by Marco Botti, and Hoseki, on a three-race winning streak, are strong contenders in the Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup Classic. The Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup Mile could be the decisive race, with Europe's Bullet Point and Rest of the World's Ebt's Guard being top contenders. As a past winner of the competition, Doyle is excited to see the action unfold at Ascot, where she has had some of her most memorable moments as a jockey.
