Ryan Moore talks through his rides on day two at Ascot

She has finished second on both starts so far but she is by No Nay Never and is a big, strong filly who will be suited by a strong pace over this trip.
SHACKLETON (3.05) needed the run over a mile and a quarter at the Curragh last time and it was a messy race. He will take a step forward for that. You must stay the trip round here and my horse will.
Some people out there still doubt LOS ANGELES (4.20) but that doesn't bother me. He's rock solid and I wouldn't swap him for anything.
The stiff mile and a quarter at Ascot will suit him well. Anmaat won the Champions Stakes in October and ran well when we fended him off at the Curragh last month. He's an obvious threat.
See The Fire has been supplemented at a fair cost and was impressive at York. She is a lovely filly but maybe she is better suited to the Knavesmire rather than here.
Map Of Stars was a little unlucky when second in the Prix Ganay and Ombudsman is a talented horse who I've ridden a couple of times. He might not want the ground as quick as it will be today.
I'm on THE LIFFEY (5.00) in the Royal Hunt Cup, who has been very well backed. He finished fourth on his first start for Joseph O'Brien in a Listed race at Navan.
That form has been franked, as the winner has gone on to win a decent race in France. There's plenty to like about The Liffey, but it's very competitive and lots of yards will think they have a well-handicapped horse.
I close with FIRST APPROACH (6.10) as Kansas is a non-runner. He was too keen last time and didn't stay the six furlongs so dropping back in trip is the right move. It looks wide open.

FINAL FAREWELL Diogo Jota's funeral to be held in Portugal tomorrow after Liverpool star's tragic death in horror Lamborghini crash Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LIVERPOOL star Diogo Jota's funeral is to be held at 4pm tomorrow, just one day after he and his brother were tragically killed in a road smash. Jota, 28, was killed late on Wednesday night when a tyre on his Lamborghini blew out and the car hurtled off the road, catching fire. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Liverpool FC star Jota, 28, died alongside his brother André, 26 4 Wreckage from the tragic crash 4 Rute Cardoso and Diogo Jota got married on June 22 4 His brother André Silva, 25, who played for Portuguese second-tier club Penafiel, was also in the car when it caught fire after crashing, killing both men. The service is set to take place in Sao Cosme in his home city of Porto, northern Portugal. Jota had married his high school sweetheart Rute Cardoso there just 10 days earlier. Hearses were seen arriving at a funeral home in the Spanish town of Puebla da Sanabria, northwestern Spain, this afternoon. The brothers were travelling through Zamora, Spain on the A-52 towards Santander, where they were to catch a ferry to the UK. The Portuguese ace had missed several matches last season after suffering a rib injury in October during a match against Chelsea. Jota was due to return to Liverpool to take part in the club's pre season games which start later this month. Emergency crews rushed to the crash site in the early hours of the morning and managed to put out the flames. Both brothers were tragically pronounced dead at the scene, according to the Zamora Provincial Council. Their bodies were taken to a forensics unit in Zamora so autopsies could be performed. 'Profound loss and shock' - Martin Lipton on death of Liverpool star Diogo Jota dies aged 28 in tragic car crash Rute was being consoled as she went about the harrowing task of assisting coroner's officials attempting to identify her husband's body. She and other family members were reportedly seen comforting one another after arriving at the Zamora forensics unit. The bodies were reported to have been released for burial and on their way to Portugal. Sources claim they would be taken to the Chapel of the Resurrection in their home town of Gondomar. Police are said to be looking into the crash as "a possible speeding incident", according to a government source. The crash occurred in the tiny municipality of Cernadilla at a notorious accident black spot. A town hall official described the A-52 highway where the tragedy occurred as "very dangerous". Meanwhile another town hall source said: "As it passes through Cernadilla it is full of bends at 120 kilometres per hour. "Exceeding the speed limit or poor visibility at night are often the cause of accidents in these areas." Jota played on the left wing and up front for Liverpool after joining from Wolves in 2020 for a fee of £41million. Liverpool FC paid a touching tribute to Jota as they said: "Liverpool Football Club are devastated by the tragic passing of Diogo Jota." They added that everyone at the club is still coming to terms with the "unimaginable loss". The club has opened physical and digital books of condolence. The Portuguese national football team have said they are 'devastated' by Jota's death. They added that he 'was not only a fantastic player with almost 50 caps for the national team, but also an extraordinary person who was respected by all his teammates and opponents'.

‘A loved one to all of us' – Arne Slot pays emotional tribute to Diogo Jota after Liverpool star's tragic death
ARNE SLOT has paid an emotional tribute to Diogo Jota following the tragic news of the Liverpool star's death. Jota died in a car accident on Thursday while driving through Zamora, Spain with his younger brother, Andre Silva.

His club described the loss of the 28-year-old as "devastating". Manager Slot has now penned his own heartfelt tribute for the Portuguese footballer, saying he was "loved by all". In a tribute shared on Liverpool's website, Slot, 46, said: "What to say? What can anyone say at a time like this when the shock and the pain is so incredibly raw? I wish I had the words but I know I do not. "All I have are feelings that I know so many people will share about a person and a player we loved dearly and a family we care so much about. "My first thoughts are not those of a football manager. They are of a father, a son, a brother and an uncle and they belong to the family of Diogo and Andre Silva who have experienced such an unimaginable loss. "My message to them is very clear – you will never walk alone. The players, the staff, the supporters of Liverpool Football Club are all with you and from what I have seen today, the same can be said of the wider family of football. "This is not solely a response to tragedy. It is also a reaction to the goodness of the people involved and the respect that so many have for the boys as individuals and for the family as a whole. "For us as a club, the sense of shock is absolute. Diogo was not just our player. He was a loved one to all of us. He was a team-mate, a colleague, a workmate and in all of those roles he was very special." Slot went on to praise Jota's humble nature, never seeking popularity but finding it, and befriending everyone as someone who made others feel good about themselves. The Dutchman also highlighted the late attacker's hard work, desire, commitment, great quality, and goals as a player. He then revealed his final conversation with Jota was to congratulate him for Portugal's victory in the Uefa Nations League and wishing him luck for his wedding. Dad-of-three Jota had married his high school sweetheart Rute Cardoso just 10 days before his heartbreaking passing. Slot continued: "When I first came to the club, one of the first songs I got to know was the one that our fans sing for Diogo. "I had not worked with him previously but I knew straight away that if the Liverpool supporters, who have seen so many great players over the years, had such a unique chant for Diogo, he must have special qualities. "That we have lost those qualities in such terrible circumstances is something we have not yet come to terms with. "For this reason, we need everyone at the club to stand together and to be there for one another. We owe this to Diogo, to Andre Silva, to their wider family and to ourselves." Slot rounded out his tribute by paying his respects to Jota's family and declaring that he will never be forgotten. He added: "My condolences go to Diogo's wife, Rute, their three beautiful children and to the parents of Diogo and Andre Silva. "When the time is right, we will celebrate Diogo Jota, we will remember his goals and we will sing his song. "For the time being, we will remember him as a unique human being and mourn his loss. He will never be forgotten. His name is Diogo." THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY..

Out-of-contract Rangers star signs new one-year deal to stay at Ibrox
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) RANGERS have already signed four new players this summer as Russell Martin is wasting no time in getting his team ready for the start of the season. He has to act fast, though, with just three weeks before the Champions League qualifier against Panathinaikos. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Russell Martin has been busy in the transfer market Credit: Willie Vass 2 He's also tied down a current Gers star on a new deal Credit: Willie Vass - The Sun The manager has to replace the likes of Vaclav Cerny, Neraysho Fernandes and Rafael Fernandes who have all left following the end of their loan spells. Ianis Hagi, Leon Balogun and Tom Lawrence also departed after running down their contracts at Ibrox. But one out-of-contract ace HAS decided to stay beyond this summer after penning a new short-term deal. It's unlikely he will even feature for the Light Blues this season, though, as he hasn't made a single first team appearance for the club in NINE years. Back-up goalkeeper Kieran Wright will stay at Ibrox for another season at the very least after penning a new one-year deal in Govan. The 26-year-old will enter his TENTH year as a first team player this season but the closest he's ever got to making his debut has been appearances on the bench. Since making his breakthrough in the Rangers youth academy he has spent most of his career out on loan to various Scottish clubs. He got his first taste of senior action in the lower leagues with Gala Fairydean Rovers in the 2016/17 season but has since played for several SPFL sides. He's played for Albion Rovers, Raoth Rovers, Alloa Athletic, Partick Thistle, Dumbarton, Livingston and most recently Airdrie. He won the League One title with Partick Thistle in the 2020/21 campaign - his only silverware as a professional player. Ally McCoist confesses to 'horrendous' epic fail ahead of final day of Rangers legend's charity bike ride He spent the second half of last season on loan at Airdrie in the Scottish Championship, where he helped them retained their second-tier status by beating Cove Rangers in the relegation play-off final in May. He made 24 appearances in total for the Championship club. Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page
