The 2025 Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup will feature jockeys from 10 different countries, with Katie Davis, Delphine Santiago and Joanna Mason completing the line up for the team event which takes place at Ascot on Saturday, August 9.

French-born Santiago joins captain Per-Anders Graberg (Sweden) and Dario Di Tocco (Italy) in team Europe, while Mason completes the team from Great Britain and Ireland which also features captain Hollie Doyle and Robbie Dolan.

Meanwhile, Davis, who was born in Idaho in the USA, will compete in the Shergar Cup for the first time as part of the Rest of the World team, alongside captain Karis Teetan (Mauritius) and Hugh Bowman (Australia). Davis starred in the Netflix series Race for the Crown and has ridden around the world, including in the International Jockeys Challenge in Saudi Arabia.

Davis said, “I am so excited to be riding in the Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup this year. It was amazing to be invited and it should be a great buzz to ride on such a big day at Ascot, one of the most famous racecourses in the world.

“I think it's great what they have done with the teams this year and I can't wait to compete with Hugh and Karis in the Rest of the World team along with all the other jockeys from across the globe.”

With captain Suraj Narredu from India and Ryusei Sakai and Mirai Iwata from Japan making up the newly-formed Asia team, there will be jockeys from five continents on show.
