LION READY TO ROAR

Murphy can repeat trick from front for follow-up

- 

Oisin Murphy gave RUNNING LION (3.40) a great ride to land the Group Two Duke Of Cambridge Stakes run over the round mile last season, as he rode his fellow jockeys to sleep from the front.

John and Thady Gosden’s mare is four from five over this afternoon’s trip and the five-year-old will now be fully fit after a couple of runs over further this season.

I expect the brilliant jockey to ping out and dictate matters on a track that favours trailblazers, so snap up the 7-1 each-way.

Gezora snagged the French Oaks at Chantilly for Francis-Henri Graffard on Sunday, which is a good sign for the hopes of MAP OF STARS (4.20) to find his way home in the Prince Of Wales's Stakes run over a mile and a quarter.
