Flashy Wings stands out here and can score, with some of her main rivals looking to be Shermeen, Sensuous and Expensive. Having franked herself as one of the best juveniles in training, the Queen Mary and Lowther Stakes winner, Flashy Wings, is hard to get away from in this valuable Sales race. Her biggest dangers could prove to be the improving Shermeen, who comes here seeking a three-timer, whatever proves to be the best-fancied of Richard Hannon's four runner, as he tends to do well in these types of events, Barry Hills' Salisbury winner, Silver Dip, although the short-head runner-up there Sensuous, could well get the better of her today, Eoghan O'Neill's Moonlight Music, and Chris Wall's Thirsk winner, Expensive. Flashy Wings' trainer, Mick Channon, adds some interest to proceedings by running five other contenders but the best of these has to be Flashy Wings, who gets the vote.
