SHER WE GO AT ASCOT

A SELL-OUT 30,000 crowd will flock to see the world’s top jockeys — as well as pop acts Craig David (right), All Saints and Feeder — as the Shergar Cup returns to Ascot today.

Great Britain & Ireland, Europe, the Rest Of The World and The Girls are the four teams locking horns in the premier jockeys’ competition.

That means stars Kerrin McEvoy, Emma-Jayne Wilson, Hayley Turner, Jamie Spencer and Michelle Payne, who is hopeful of beating illness to ride — Hollie Doyle is on standby — will do battle in the six races, live on ITV4. Fran Berry and Neil Callan join Spencer in the Great Britain & Ireland team, who head Betfair’s market at 15-8. “The home team have the local knowledge — with lots of Ascot winners under their belts — and we reckon there’ll be more of the same,” said the firm’s Katie Baylis.
