Another cracking Saturday of LIVE ITV Racing with two jumping cards.
At Wetherby, the Grade Two Charlie Hall Chase is their main event, while at Ascot the competitive Bateaux London Gold Cup Handicap is always a competitive affair to unravel - a race the Gary Moore yard often do well in, you can get his thoughts here.
Did you know? Trainer Paul Nicholls has won the Charlie Hall Chase four times
