Windsor hotel visitors will have plenty of different forms of entertainment to choose from if they visit Ascot on August 9th.

This date will see the famous racecourse combine the Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup with an 80s day.

The Shergar Cup is the only jockeys' competition in Britain that sees teams of riders from all over the world compete over six separate races for a single trophy.

A record crowd flocked to Ascot in 2007 to see the innovative format introduced and just as many people are expected this year to watch teams from Great Britain, Ireland, Europe and the rest of the world.

Its entertainment value and the fact that it is easy to follow mean that the Shergar Cup is an ideal introduction to racing for people of all ages and interests.

The day's races will be followed by a number of 80s-themed gigs in Ascot's Old Paddock, with acts including Kid Creole and the Coconuts, ABC, Bananarama, Belinda Carlisle and Paul Young.
