Zyra's Lioness ran reasonably well on her debut here last month but it will be a surprise if one of the newcomers isn't good enough. ROBIOLA is by dual Derby winner Harzand out of a mare placed on the Flat in France so should have the basic speed and stamina for this. Special Cadeau is by Nathaniel out of 1,000 Guineas winner Speciosa who has produced four winners on the Flat. Fighting Poet's pedigree is all about the Flat being related to seven winners and out of a 6f winner but Abingworth is bred to be a staying jumper.
