(Pays £4,000 for a £5 stake)

1.05 Ascot: Trainer Robert Cowell has won three of the last nine runnings

We can hopefully get off to a decent start with the Robert Cowell-trained Encore D’Or in the opening race at Ascot .

It’s a contest the yard landed in 2010, 2014 and 2015 – Danny Tudhope will be riding for the ‘Great Britain and Ireland’ team.

2.30 Haydock: Trainer William Haggas has won two of the last five renewals

We are up to Haydock for the next selection with the unbeaten William Haggas runner, Miss O Connor, the horse of interest.

The yard targeted this race with success in 2014 and 2017 with similar fillies and after an easy eleven-length win at Nottingham last time this four-year-old looks worthy of the leap into Listed grade.

2.50 Ascot: Via Serendipity won this race twelve months ago

Back to the Shergar Cup action at Ascot, and it’s actually the horse that won this race last year – Via Serendipity – that catches the eye.

He’s the only course and distance winner in the field and line-up again this year on exactly the same rating.

3.45 Newmarket: Godolphin have won five of the last ten renewals.

We end the ‘Cracker Acca’ at Newmarket in the Group Three Sweet Solera Stakes. It’s a contest the ‘boys in blue’ of Godolphin love to go for – they’ve won the prize five times between 2009 and 2013.

Their Light Blush will be hoping to add to that fine record and having already won over this course and distance that will surely be a big plus.
