Although not the most reliable RUNNING LION (5) remains hard to dismiss on all known form. The Gosden-trained filly travelled strongly before being picked off late in the G2 Dahlia Stakes. Slight drop back in trip to pose no issues around this turning track and she may stamp her authority on the field. Any further rain will aid the chances of SPARKS FLY (7) who was progressive on soft ground last season. Might step forward for her reappearance fifth at Haydock (7f) among handicap company. CHIC COLOMBINE (8) would be dangerous to rule out if bouncing back to form that saw her win a 1m Listed event by a wide margin at Saint-Cloud in a. BREEGE (2) cannot be discounted.
