Hollie Doyle is hoping to achieve the most momentous success of her burgeoning career on Trueshan in the Gold Cup on day three of Royal Ascot. The Sky Sports Racing ambassador discusses the great race and her rides on live outsiders in the Norfolk Stakes and the Ribblesdale.

I’ve been dreaming about riding TRUESHAN in the Ascot Gold Cup (4.15) on Thursday ever since we won the Qipco British Champions Long Distance Cup on Champions’ Day last October – and what an exciting race it promises to be!

The script couldn’t be more mouth-watering, with the wonderful Stradivarius bidding for a record-equalling fourth victory in the race after getting back in the winning groove in the Sagaro Stakes at Ascot.

But while he has the starring role, the supporting cast couldn’t be much stronger, with Mark Johnston’s Group 1 winner Subjectivist, last year’s Derby hero Serpentine and Yorkshire Cup winner Spanish Mission all adding spice.
