7f Jersey Stakes (Group 3) (Class 1) (3yo)
I’d expect River Tiber to improve past Haatem here, especially as the latter has a 3lb penalty. He’s a worthy favourite here but he does have to reverse form with TASK FORCE on their Middle Park run, even with the caveat that he wasn’t said to be fully wound up for that. Task Force is by a Guineas winner out of a Guineas winner but was too keen in the Guineas at a time his yard weren’t in form, and this drop back to 7f could be ideal for him. I’d make 9/1 a good price for a horse with plenty of potential and a purple pedigree. If he can get the better of River Tiber again I suspect he’ll win.
1pt win Task Force @9/1, 16:25 Royal Ascot, Saturday
