Sky Sports Racing presenter Mike Cattermole is back with his race of the day, taking aim at the ?100,000 Bateaux London Gold Cup, live on Sky Sports Racing.
The ?100,000 Bateaux London Gold Cup over three miles tops the bill as Ascot welcomes the return of NH racing for its new season.
Ground conditions should be perfect, currently good to soft, with the possibility of 3mm-5mm of showers overnight from Friday into Saturday morning to freshen things up.
Gary Moore, who saddles Full Back, has won the race a record three times, all of those coming in the past six runnings. The race was first run in 2006.
Pace should come from Good Boy Bobby and stablemate Poppa Poutine with Danny Kirwan and Annsam very handy, along with several others. Kitty’s Light will probably be ridden quietly.
