18:10 Royal Ascot — Race Preview & Tips
We're tipping River King in the 18:10 at Royal Ascot — a Flat race with 32 runners on Good going.
A look at the form — 4/3231-21 — reveals winning form that is hard to ignore.
Richard Hannon has been in fine form and teams up with Pat Dobbs, a combination that demands respect.
These conditions — Good ground over — look tailor-made for the selection.
Key angle: Won last time out.
An official mark of 95 looks workable in this grade.
For each-way purposes, Arctic Dawn merits consideration as a place alternative.
