McDonald's Aesterius a good steer

Aesterius offers each-way value in the King Charles III

- STEVE JONES with four top tips

OLD MCDONALD is back to farm the King Charles III Stakes.

New Zealander James McDonald — one of the world's top jockeys — won Royal Ascot's most prestigious sprint three years ago on Aussie raider Nature Strip.

He looks to have a good chance of picking up the Group 1 prize again on AESTERIUS (3.40).

Three-year-olds do well in this race. Archie Watson trained Bradsell to win this two years ago and he's got another speedy contender from the Classic generation on his hands.
