PESLIER POPULAR AT ASCOT

Olivier Peslier, the current leader in the French jockeys' championship, is in demand for rides at Royal Ascot next week.

The Frenchman will ride at all four days of the Royal meeting where his mounts include Fruits Of Love, on whom he will try and repeat last year's victory in the Hardwicke Stakes.

Peslier's British agent, Shippy Ellis, said today: "Olivier will ride Fruits Of Love in the Hardwicke Stakes who he has won on before.

"He has ridden 70 winners in France already this year, 20 ahead of his nearest pursuer, which considering they only race five days a week is not bad at all."

Peslier's other mounts include Dansili for Andre Fabre in the Queen Anne Stakes on Tuesday, the Italian-trained Blu Air Force in Wednesday's Jersey Stakes and Abscond for Sir Michael Stoute in the Ribblesdale Stakes on Thursday.

Ellis also revealed that Peslier's compatriot Gerald Mosse would also ride on all four days of the Royal meeting.

He is set to partner French 2000 Guineas third Valentino for John Gosden in the St James's Palace Stakes and Nuclear Debate for John Hammond in the King's Stand Stakes, both on Tuesday, as well as the Alain de Royer Dupre-trained Zarkiya in Wednesday's Coronation Stakes.
