Running Lion (13/8), Chic Colombine (11/4), Sparks Fly (4/1), Breege (5/1), Astral Beau (8/1), Sea Of Thieves (12/1), Royal Dress (14/1), Glimpsed (22/1), Julia Augusta (66/1)

Verdict

RUNNING LION looked better than ever when runner-up in the Dahlia Stakes at Newmarket on her comeback last month and she should take plenty of beating back down in class. Sparks Fly had a remarkable 3-y-o campaign and is ready for a shot at this level after a respectable reappearance at Haydock, while there wasn't much between Royal Dress and Breege in a listed event at Goodwood 4 weeks ago.
