Tony Mullins knows the size of the task facing Princess Zoe when she takes on Kyprios in the Prix du Cadran on Saturday, but believes she can make a race of it at ParisLongchamp.
Beaten 15 lengths by Aidan O’Brien’s new staying star in the Irish St Leger, just 20 days later she somehow has to bridge that gap.
In her favour is that this distance of two and a half miles, in a race she won two years ago, is more in her favour than the 14 furlongs of the Irish St Leger and Mullins is hoping for very deep ground, but he does not think it will be as soft as some are anticipating.
