RUNNING LION is clear on official ratings and will be sharper for a recent comeback run at Newmarket. The five-year-old won the Group 2 Duke Of Cambridge Stakes in good style on fast ground at Royal Ascot last summer and will prove hard to stop with a similar effort. A Listed winner at Newbury last term, Diamond Rain returns to the fray and is likely to prove competitive, while Tasmania is one to note on her second outing for Sir Mark Prescott having won in Listed company in France in 2023. |
If RUNNING LION recaptures her Prix de l'Opera (Group 2) form of last October then she will take all the beating. That is the big if for this filly, as she was frankly disappointing in the Dahlia Stakes (Group 2) on her seasonal return at Newmarket and can throw in blowout runs as well as impressive victories. Despite that, she acts on the ground, will suit the step up in trip, represents the form choice and this drop in class makes her hard to oppose. Secret Satire could outrun her price. Ahead of the selection in the Dahlia Stakes off a long absence, she's not without a chance based on last season's Musidora Stakes (Group 3) victory and Belmont Oaks Invitational Stakes (Grade 1) fifth in the States on firm ground prior to that Newmarket return. Although Diamond Rain is on a retrieval mission, the filly is very lightly raced and could post an improved effort if recapturing her early season form of last year, most notably when landing a 10f Listed event in good style at Newbury on just her second start following a winning debut. |
