Royal Ascot: HUKUM | 3:40pm Hardwicke Stakes (Group 2) | Dom’s Pick

Four days have come and gone, and it’s now time for the final round of contests at Royal Ascot’s 2021 renewal.

Our team are siding with Owen Burrows’ Hukum as the best bet of the day following his Goodwood win last time out.

The Sea The Stars won over course-and-distance last season when taking the King George V Stakes at the Royal Meeting under Jim Crowley and he quickly progressed into a Group 3 winner at Newbury back in August.

He ran a cracker in the St Leger and his comeback run this season was over a far-from-ideal trip at Sandown, but that stripped him fitter for his West Sussex glory in May.

The likes of Japan, Broome and Sir Ron Priestly are classy horses but have questionable track records, with Wonderful Tonight probably in need of rainfall.
