Cecil unleashes Ascot team

Henry Cecil expects to have "eight or nine" runners at Ascot next week as the Warren Place maestro aims to add to his staggering tally of 70 winners at the Royal meeting.

Cecil, who is sure to have a spring in his step after recently marrying partner Jane in Bury St Edmunds, will be represented by the likes of Twice Over in the St James's Palace and Phoenix Tower in the Prince Of Wales's Stakes.
