Danny Tudhope delivered Rogue Millennium with a perfectly-timed run in the Duke Of Cambridge Stakes at Royal Ascot to land a huge Group Two prize for trainer Tom Clover.
In what looked a wide-open renewal of the mile contest on day two, it was Frankie Dettori who delivered joint-favourite Prosperous Voyage with the first challenge as the Italian looked to end a frustrating start to the meeting.
Ralph Beckett's filly looked locked into a tussle with Saffie Osborne on Ed Walker's Random Harvest coming into the final furlong, with no clear winner emerging from the two.

- Doyle survives stewards' enquiry to win King's Stand on Bradsell
That left the door open to rivals on either side and it was Tudhope on 10/1 shot Rogue Millennium who appeared the most dangerous as the pair eventually found their stride down the outside.
Tudhope galvanised his mount for the final strides to win by a neck from Random Harvest, with Prosperous Voyage in third and Jumbly back in fourth.
It is a first Group winner in the UK for Clover and an 11th Royal Ascot success for Tudhope.
An emotional Clover told Sky Sports Racing: "It's absolutely massive!
"We supplemented her for this and it's great when a plan comes together. She's a wonderful filly and the team has done a brilliant job."
