Ascot Gold Cup runners and riders, jockey colours & start time
Stradivarius goes for a record-equalling fourth Ascot Gold Cup this afternoon. A field of nine horses are set to go to post at 4.20pm. Trueshan was declared a non-runner on Thursday morning on account of the going.
Stradivarius won the Ascot Gold Cup in successive years between 2018 and 2020. Princess Zoe is back for another crack after placing second in last year’s renewal. Kyprios is the emerging star in the staying division. Mojo Star tackles a distance further than 1m6½f for the first time in his career. Burning Victory switches back to the Flat for firsttime since finishing second behind Buzz in Cesarewitch.
