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.
