Talking Horses: back Ireland to lead the way in Shergar Cup team battle


The best betting opportunity on a unique Ascot card is to rely on Irish to lift the overall prize at value odds

The Shergar Cup’s team format is not to everyone’s taste but one bet can give you an interest throughout the card and Ireland could be worth backing at around 3-1 at Ascot on Saturday.

Group One Power (2.00) and Dance Fever (2.35) have strong chances in the middle of the card for Joe Fanning and Tadhg O’Shea, while David Egan has several rides that could go well at decent odds.
