All the entries are eligible to compete in either the Great Britain and Ireland team managed by former soccer star turned actor Vinnie Jones or the Rest of the World team under the guidance of former Australian fast bowler Jeff Thomson at the Berkshire track on August 11th.

'The entries are nicely up on last year and, given the tremendous prize money on offer, we`re confident we`ll get a full turn-out of 10 runners for each race,' said Ascot clerk of the courseNick Cheyne.

'The jockeys on show, including Norihiro Yokoyama and David Flores, our representatives from Japan and the USA, are the best in the world.'
