What's Keith's Palace of Holyroodhouse Handicap Tips for Royal Ascot?

Keith Bond is our resident pro tipster here at FRT Towers. He's been studying the cards, form, stats, trends and more for the Palace of Holyroodhouse Handicap at Royal Ascot, and here's his thoughts ahead of the race:

2020 Tips

Top three-year-old sprint handicappers. One thing is for certain ones the gates open they won’t be hanging about, expect the race to be run at a blistering pace and if the conditions are right that 5-furlong record time for three-year-olds could be in danger. Leading contenders are ART POWER, WILL TO WIN, MAYSTAR and GOLDEN DRAGON.

Keith's final choice

13:15 ART POWER 9/4 – [Impressive winner over 6f on opening day at Newcastle. Expected to be aimed at the 5f sprint at RA.] Well drawn and will handle the going. KEEP BUSY looks the type to go well too and could run into a place.

How it fared

ART POWER WON 6/4 – GETTTTT INNNNN very classy win by 4½ lengths made the rest look ordinary. KEEP BUSY ran on to take second.
