  • Hollie Doyle captains the Great Britain team
  • Bookmakers give the edge to the Great Britain team

At the Shergar Cup, which will take place in Ascot, the format of the competition has changed. This year, the Ladies team has been replaced by the Asia team, which will compete against the teams from Great Britain and Ireland, Europe, and the Rest of the World. This decision aims to attract a new audience to the event.

Among the participants of the competition will be renowned jockeys, such as Hollie Doyle, Robbie Dolan, and Hugh Bowman. Doyle, who is the captain of the Great Britain and Ireland team, already has experience in this tournament, including winning the prize for best jockey two years in a row.

This year, 12 jockeys will participate in the Shergar Cup, five of whom will be making their debut in Great Britain. Among them are Karis Teetan, Delfin Santiago, and others. Bookmakers predict that the Great Britain and Ireland team has a good chance of winning with odds of approximately 6-4.

Some of the horses that will be represented in the competition also draw attention. For example, "Venture Capital" and "La Vita Nova" have the potential for successful performances. Other participants, such as "Milford" and "Prince of India," may also show good results.

The competition promises to be exciting, with a large number of experienced jockeys in all teams.
