3.45 The Ascot Gold Cup
For three-year-olds and upwards over 2im. Commentary by Peter Bromley

Julian Wilson says: 'French challengers have been more successful in the Gold Cup than in any other race in Britain since the war.
'Four-year-olds have won in 23 years out of 28. Most successful jockey has been Lester Piggott. He has been first past the post five times.
'So the winning formula looks to be a French-trained four-year-old ridden by Lester Piggott. Sagaro fits the bill. Pick of the British hopes looks to be four-year-old Girandole (Edward Hide), and five-year-old Zab (Joe Mercer) and Proverb (Willie Carson).'
