Tote World Pool tips: try this Swinger on the King's Stand Stakes

It is suspected that Australian champion Nature Strip will be especially popular in the commingled pools on the King's Stand Stakes, so that is the arena in which to oppose him if you fancy something else.

The best play to me looks to be a ToteSwinger bet, in which punters must identify two of the first three finishers in any order. Coupling up Man Of Promise and Golden Pal in this way gives us one of the strongest teams available should Nature Strip come through. If he does not come up to his usual level, then the returns start to get really inviting.

Golden Pal has already run well over 5f at Ascot, he was second in the Norfolk two years ago. Man Of Promise shaped like a top-class 5f horse in the Al Quoz Sprint when last seen and is an unexposed and clearly improving sprinter.

Tote win and place pools will be operating on all days of Royal Ascot as part of the World Pool established by the Hong Kong Jockey Club. This means the pools will be larger and more stable but for each-way punters it means payouts will be based on three places only in races of seven runners and upwards rather than four places for handicaps of 16 runners or more. This does not apply to the Placepot or other multiple bets where four places in handicaps of more than 16 runners still applies.

Punters from more than 20 ­nations can bet into the World Pool. Bettors in the UK and Ireland can place bets with the Tote here.
