Sort It Out has been confirmed a likely starter in the Ladbroke at Ascot on Saturday.

Trained in County Kildare by Eddie Harty and owned by JP McManus, the six-year-old has done well over hurdles, and was last seen winning at Punchestown in May.

Sort It Out has won four races in 11 starts and also finished second to Wicklow Brave in the County Hurdle at last season's Cheltenham Festival.

"It looks like he'll come across," Harty told the Telegraph.

"There aren't many races for him, but he's had a long break and done a good bit of work.

"He still has time enough to go chasing later on.

"He was a progressive horse through last year, and I think there's more improvement in him."
