Saturday’s Scoop6 will have three legs at York and three legs at Ascot. The £45k win fund was not won last Saturday, rolling over to this week.
The opening leg will be at York with the Sky Bet ‘Jump Jockeys’ Nunthorpe’ Handicap scheduled for 1:30pm. A field of 17 are set to line up for this 5f sprint.
The second leg is Ascot’s Princess Margaret Japan Cup Stakes at 1:45pm. This is a Group 3 race for two-year-old fillies over 6f. This race was first run in 1946 and is named after King George VI’s youngest daughter.
Another 6f sprint follows at leg three with York’s Sky Bet Dash at 2pm. With the maximum 22 runners entered, this race has the biggest field of the six legs this week.
Leg four is back at Ascot with the 7f Moet & Chandon International Handicap at 2:55pm. Top weight of 9st 12lbs will be saddled by Two Tribes, Great Acclaim, Golden Mind and Completely Random.
The 1m Sky Bet For The Fans Handicap is at leg five this week. This is the third leg to have 17 runners this week. This Class 4 race is worth £25k, open to horses rated 0-80.
The final leg will be the Group 1 King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes which will see a field of nine compete for a share of £2m, with the winner set to claim over £1.1m. Francis Henri Graffard saddles both Calandagan and Goliath who are the last two winners of the race.

The Scoop6 takes place every Saturday and occasionally through the week during big meetings such as the Cheltenham Festival, Kempton’s Christmas Festival, Royal Ascot and Glorious Goodwood.
The six races, known as legs, can be at one single meeting or across a number of meetings. Originally these races would have all been televised by a domestic broadcaster, such as ITV racing. Now they can be a mix of televised and non-televised afternoon races depending on field size, favouring races with more runners.
The Scoop6 itself is made up of a win fund for picking six winners and a place fund for those selecting six placed horses. If the prize fund isn’t won, it rolls over to the next available Scoop6.
