Dettori to show Netflix star and fellow jockey how to win at famous race meeting
Frankie Dettori is set to give a masterclass in winning at Ascot to one of the shining talents of this Saturday's Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup. The superstar jockey bid farewell to Britain at the end of 2023 and has since been tearing up the tracks in the US, where he's quickly become one of the leading jockeys. Dettori, who participated in 12 editions of the Shergar Cup during his time in Britain, is renowned for his exceptional skill at Ascot, boasting 81 wins at Royal Ascot and earning the title of leading rider seven times. His most memorable moment came in 1996 when he won all seven races on the card, an achievement that became known as 'Frankie's Magnificent Seven'. Despite being scheduled to ride at Saratoga in New York state this Saturday, Dettori has reached out to offer American jockey Katie Davis some insider advice on how to conquer the iconic British course. Davis, 33, hails from a family steeped in racing history, with her father, sister, and brother all being former or current successful jockeys. With over 340 wins under her belt in the US and multiple stakes victories, Davis is gearing up for her first-ever British race at Ascot this Saturday. Her six rides will include Miss Information, the victor of the Kensington Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot in June, reports the Mirror. Frankie Dettori (centre) rode in 12 Shergar Cups (Image: PA) "We were both riding work for Wesley Ward when Frankie caught me off guard," Davis, who appeared in the popular Netflix documentary 'Race For The Crown', recalled. "He said, 'Don't you forget me. You gotta call me when the entries come out'. So we're going to Facetime. Trust me, I'm here to win." Davis joins the Rest Of The World squad alongside Hong Kong's Karis Teetan and Aussie Hugh Bowman, famed for his partnership with the legendary Winx, guiding her to 25 Group 1 triumphs. She enthused: "Words can't explain how much I am looking forward to it. I work well under pressure. It's more of an excitement for me. I will definitely enjoy every bit of it."

Thursday Murder Club trailer offers first look at David Tennant's character
The first full-length trailer for The Thursday Murder Club film has offered a first-look at the characters portrayed by David Tennant and Jonathan Pryce. The adaptation, based on the book series by game show host and author Richard Osman, follows a crime-busting group of retirees, played by: Oscar-winning actress Helen Mirren; former James Bond actor Pierce Brosnan; Calendar Girls actress Celia Imrie; and Gandhi star, Ben Kingsley. Director Chris Columbus confirmed in an interview with entertainment news website Collider in April that Doctor Who star Tennant, 54, would play Ian, the owner of Coopers Chase retirement village, where the four retirees live, with Olivier-winning actor Pryce, 78, starring as Stephen, the husband of Mirren's character, Elizabeth. The trailer, which follows the release of a teaser in May, features a clip of Tennant with slicked back hair and a Dolce and Gabbana T-shirt looking angry. In another clip his character says: 'I'm not worried about the cantankerous old farts.' Meanwhile, Pryce is shown wearing a brown cardigan, blue shirt and glasses in his role as Elizabeth's husband, who suffers from dementia in the book. Among the other cast members are: Saltburn star Richard E Grant; Miranda's Tom Ellis; Mickey 17 actress Naomi Ackie; Line Of Duty star Daniel Mays; and Indian Summers actor, Henry Lloyd-Hughes. Dame Helen Mirren in action as Elizabeth (Giles Keyte/Netflix/PA) The trailer also shows Elizabeth, Ibrahim (Kingsley) and Ron (Brosnan), introducing themselves as the Thursday Murder Club to Imrie's character, Joyce, an ex-nurse who becomes the latest member of the group. Ackie, who plays a police constable, is seen investigating as is May's character who says: 'Police work is off-limits to anyone who isn't the police.' Elsewhere, Elizabeth receives a bouquet of flowers telling her to 'back off' and she is later seen bumping into a mysterious figure in the dead of night who tells her to not 'wake the dead.' Harry Potter director Columbus said: 'This is the finest cast I've worked with since Potter. 'They're just so incredibly well-prepared, and it's because they do everything. They do theatre, they do television, they do film, and they've developed those sorts of muscles.' Osman has written four Thursday Murder Club books with a fifth, The Impossible Fortune, set for publication in September. The TV star, 54, who became a household name on Pointless, left the hit TV quiz show in 2022 to concentrate on writing, having co-hosted alongside Alexander Armstrong since its debut in 2009. The Thursday Murder Club will land on Netflix on August 28.
