Frankie Dettori to captain team Europe at Ascot's Shergar Cup
The European team in this year's Shergar Cup at Ascot will have Frankie Dettori at its helm for the first time since 2016.
Dettori said: "It's been a few years since I've ridden in the Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup and I'm looking forward to it. I love Ascot and it's always a great day so I hope people put it in their diary and come along to have a good time and enjoy something a bit different.
Hayley Turner will once again captain the Ladies team as they try for a fourth success in the competition. Last year's Alistair Haggis Silver Saddle winner Nicola Currie and multiple Royal Ascot winner Hollie Doyle will feature, along with Canadian star Emma-Jayne Wilson, who has appeared at the Shergar Cup six times, including when on the winning side in 2015.
The Rest of the World team features two of Japan's leading riders at the moment in Takeshi Yokoyama and French-born Christophe Lemaire who represents Japan as a JRA licensed jockey.
They are joined by three-time Melbourne Cup winner Kerrin McEvoy from Australia and New Zealander Jason Collett, who has enjoyed a good season in Sydney.
