Winner of each of her last two starts including at Brighton (good) over 6f last week. Had previously won at Wolverhampton and carries a 6lb penalty for that latest success and the draw could have been kinder to her.

Well held twice since finishing fourth of nine over 6f at Chelmsford on the AW in March. Beaten 6¼L on her turf return at Windsor a month ago and more needed following a 2lb drop in the weights.

Last two wins have come in claiming and selling company and well held in the main in seven starts for this stable including when last of ten at Windsor earlier this month though a good draw today may see her in a better light.

Promising debut when 2L third of nine over 7f at Kempton in August 2015 but sold for just £5,000 last November and failed to beat a rival home in two 7f maiden races for this yard. Makes her handicap debut today.

Broke her maiden on her penultimate outing when winning by ½ L over 6f on the AW at Kempton last month. Slowly away when only fourth at Brighton (good-to-firm) over 7f subsequently and an interesting runner from a good draw here.

Not beaten far when running from well out of the weights to finish fourth of nine over 5f at Chepstow (good-to-firm) last time out. Disappointing in three starts prior to that this year and interesting despite a poor draw here.

Beaten 2¾L into second over 6f on the AW at Kempton on her final start of 2016 last August. Well held twice so far on the AW this season and probabaly best watched today.

Had just three starts on turf including when winning on debut at Thirsk (good-to-firm) two years ago. Well beaten on all four starts in 2017 and handicap mark is falling as a result. Worth a check in the market here.

Won three times in 46 starts including on the AW at Kempton off a 2lb higher mark in a 6f event in January. Caught the eye when beaten 4L into fifth over 6f at Nottingham (good) last time and an interesting runner here.

Maiden after 11 starts with her best effort coming when beaten 2L into second over 6f at Salisbury (good-to-soft) last September. Races off a 4lb lower mark here and ran better than in previous 2017 start when fading late on over 7f at Salisbury last week.

Verdict

FABULOUS FLYER has a good draw close to the nearside rail and has been in decent form of late finishing third at Kempton on her most recent start. The selection races from 1lb out of the handicap here but wears a hood for the first time and can get the better of the hat-trick seeking Whitecrest who is drawn on the opposite side of the course and carries a penalty for a narrow success at Brighton last week. Of the remainder Fleeting Glimpse won on her penultimate outing at Kempton and represents a yard with a 22% strike-rate recently (8/37).
