THE collateral form-lines of the Middle Park were also represented in the Group 2 Royal Lodge Stakes over a mile, where warm favourite Kameko (Andrew Balding/Oisin Murphy) couldn’t resist the late surge of Aidan O’Brien’s Royal Dornoch (Wayne Lordan), with that colt’s stablemate Iberia (Donnacha O’Brien) finishing third, a neck and one and a half lengths behind the pair who beat him.

The best-fancied of the Ballydoyle trio, Year Of The Tiger (Ryan Moore) was fourth after seeming not to stay the trip, as might be expected from a son of the speedy champion juvenile filly Tiggy Wiggy.
