Social media, when deployed correctly, can be an ingenious tool and one that allows the average every day man in street the opportunity to get more involved with something or someone they’re hugely passionate about.

13:50 ASCOT La Bague Au Roi arrives here having won her last three, including an excellent victory on first attempt over a three mile trip when last seen. Soft ground holds no fears for the seven-year old and she has been given a decent amount of time to overcome the exertions of her last victory so should be capable of giving favourite-backers a winning start to today’s ITV races.
