Hayley Turner: High hopes of Ascot victory

Hayley Turner expects a huge run from King Of Jazz in the Betfred Victoria Cup at Ascot on Saturday - but fears the main danger comes from a source close to home.

Writing in her exclusive blog at www.racinguk.com she said: "On to Ascot on Saturday and the two I'll pick out are Tameen, who runs in the Listed race for Ed Dunlop, who's horses are running well. I sat on her this morning and she's uncomplicated. She was unlucky last time, as the bit slipped, which is a bit of a freak, but she came fourth at this level last season and it doesn't look the hottest of Listed races.

"I reckon I've got a great chance of landing the big race, the Victoria Cup on King Of Jazz. He had a nice re-introduction at Doncaster last month and should be spot on for this. I think my housemate Amy Weaver has a chance of training her biggest winner to date with Tariq Too. I know she's pretty hopeful."
