Race preview
RUNNING LION has scored in four of her last five outings, including when bolting up in Listed company at Newmarket on her penultimate run in May. She contested much deeper waters in France last time out and although that looked a step too far, she is fancied to bounce back to winning form at this level. Ameynah remains unexposed and was not disgraced when finishing fourth in the Valiant Stakes at Ascot last month, so she gets the danger vote ahead of State Occasion. Caernarfon has held her own at the highest level and is another to consider.
