Salutem out to cut a dash at Ascot Ken Condon is hopeful that In Salutem can acquit himself well in the Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup Dash at Ascot. After scoring at Navan in June, the reliable six-year-old was just touched off at the Irish Derby meeting before finishing an honourable fourth in the ultra-competitive Scurry Handicap back at the Curragh. He will be partnered by Thierry Jarnet on Saturday, and Condon said: "He's a sprinter in form and has been running very consistently at home. "There's a lack of opportunities in Ireland for him at the moment, so we had a look at this and we thought the small field and stiff track would suit him. "I was glad to see the rain earlier in the week as he's not a horse that would want fast ground. "Thierry Jarnet is a jockey we've all been watching for years, he's a very good rider and we're happy to have him."
