Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted June 19, 2024 Journalists Posted June 19, 2024 David Howden's 4-year-old filly Running Lion (GB) (Roaring Lion–Bella Nouf {GB}, by Dansili {GB}), last of eight in Epsom's G3 Princess Elizabeth Stakes earlier this month, halted a six-race losing streak with a dominant performance in Wednesday's G2 Duke of Cambridge Stakes at Royal Ascot. Last term's Listed Pretty Polly Stakes victrix kept wide of the peloton initially and drifted inwards to assume early control. In command thereafter, she was nudged along in early straight to poach a decisive buffer approaching the final furlong and kept on strongly under a late drive to hold stablemate and 'TDN Rising Star' Laurel (GB) (Kingman {GB}) by two lengths. William Haggas trainee Doom (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) fared best of the remainder and was another two lengths back in third. Running Lion's triumph provided the Gosden stable with a record fifth renewal of this 10-furlong contest. She's very good!
