<\/p>\n
The Sodexo Gold Cup is the second of two Premier Handicap Chases in the latest Ascot preview as jumps racing returns to Berkshire on Saturday, 2 November.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Supporting that 3m feature contest is another \u00a3100,000 race in the 2m 1f Byrne Group Handicap Chase. The \u00a360,000 Lavazza Handicap Hurdle slots in-between the Premier Handicaps over fences.<\/p>\n This meeting is always competitive with horse racing betting sites<\/a> enjoying decent turnover because of the field sizes. Let’s take a look at the key events from the card.<\/p>\n Competitive and there are reasons to take on the market principals. Dropping Saint Segal\u00a0<\/strong>back in trip after staying on into fourth at Chepstow over further last month doesn’t necessarily look the answer for Jane Williams.<\/p>\n Course and distance winner\u00a0Martator <\/strong>ended last season on a high with a hat-trick, but he’s 12lb higher than when successful here in March as a result. Venetia Williams needed to get a few runs into him before he started delivering.<\/p>\n Topweight\u00a0Master Chewy\u00a0<\/strong>won first time out over fences last season. Nigel Twiston-Davies’ runner has a career high mark of 154 to contend with here, however, after just getting chinned by Found A Fifty at Aintree in the spring.<\/p>\n Keiran Burke enjoyed a couple of winners towards the end of October, so new recruit\u00a0Madara\u00a0<\/strong>could well resume the fine progress he made for Sophie Leech in races like these last term.<\/p>\n At bigger prices, however, Paul Nicholls’\u00a0MATTERHORN <\/strong>might be worth forgiving his blip last time out. Prior to pulling-up at Newton Abbot, he was four from five over fences and the yard have won this race three times since 2014. That number includes two horses also sporting the same silks as Matterhorn.<\/p>\n Nico de Boinville is a more than able deputy in the saddle as Harry Cobden goes up to Wetherby races<\/a> for the Charlie Hall Chase. Matterhorn likes the forecast good ground and the substitute jockey has won on him before.<\/p>\nAscot Preview for Saturday, 2 November<\/h2>\n
