Hollie Doyle, the ambassador and leading rider at the 2023 Shergar Cup, will be on the ground at Ascot for Saturday’s international contest, live on Sky Sports Racing. Her presence adds excitement to the event, and she reflects on the camaraderie of the team competition.

Welsh trainer Chris Mason has his five‑year‑old All Ways Glamorous in the lineup for the Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup Dash (1.35). The horse, representing Team Europe, has a course‑and‑distance win and will give French rider Marie Velon a tough challenge.

Europe’s side features Thunder Call, a sprinter trained by William Haggas, in the Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup Sprint (3.20). Other key runners include Ryan Moore’s Spartan Arrow, Shrimp Shady in the Stayers (2.10), and Archers Bay for the Classic (3.55). Teams from Hong Kong, Great Britain and Ireland, and the Rest of the World also bring strong contenders like Cape Ashizuri and Bullet Point.

The closing Mile (4.30-) may decide the trophy’s fate, with Europe’s Bullet Point and the Rest of the World’s Ebt’s Guard poised to score. Hollie Doyle looks forward to watching the action at Ascot, recalling her past victories and the buzz of lifting the cup in 2023 and 2018.
