Jessica Harrington got among the winners at Ascot on Saturday when Jungle Cove took the Shergar Cup Mile under Emma-Jayne Wilson.

The five-year-old was held up in mid-division early on, before making headway over a furlong out. Wilson did an excellent job on a horse who can be difficult to win with, only getting to the front well inside the last 200 yards before going on to success.

A rare Irish runner at this select meeting, the winner is both owned and trained by Jessica Harrington.
