Trends for the King's Stand

VERDICT

1. LADY AURELIA - 2/1

The 2017 winner can join Equiano and Sole Power as multiple winners of this race in the last 10 years. Her late sire Scat Daddy has an impressive record at Ascot and she ticks plenty of boxes. Trends Rating - 83%

3. FINSBURY SQUARE - 20/1

Washington DC almost got the better of Battaash (receiving 5lb) last time and the likely strong pace is sure to suit, making him a strong each-way contender at double figure odds. Trends Rating - 83%

2. WASHINGTON DC - 12/1

Despite concerns about the quicker ground, this French raider could out-run his odds having won impressively last time. Trends Rating - 83%
