The Queen could have a moment to treasure when Royal Ascot comes under starter's orders on Tuesday.
King's Lynn is fancied to outrun his odds in the Group 1 King's Stand Stakes, the big sprint of the day. At the front of the market, Australian horse Nature Strip has been well-backed to see off America's Golden Pal.
"Last week it looked likely that Golden Pal would be sent off favourite for the King's Stand, following trainer Wesley Ward's bullish comments about his star, but since then the Aussie connections of Nature Strip have displayed equal confidence in their raider, to the point where we now can't split them at the head of the market," said Coral's David Stevens.
"We have a truly international clash to look forward to on Tuesday, with the only certainty being it's low odds the King's Stand prize is heading overseas."
