Garde La Victoire has been left with top weight following the five-day confirmations for The Ladbroke at Ascot on Saturday, in which a number of contenders have come in for support.

Denis O’Regan’s role as main rider to John Ferguson is at an end.

Racing has continued to be severely affected by the weather and tomorrow’s meeting at Naas is touch and go, but we’re getting plenty excitement today with four Grade 1s at Leopardstown. I don’t have a runner in any of them but am looking forward to them nonetheless.
