      Verdict

      Flyingit is out to get the losses back after her recent defeat, and can do so at the expense of Neshla and Lanfredo. Flyingit was sent off as favourite on her British debut for Kevin Ryan at Wolverhampton on Monday, but got going far too late and could only finish third. It was surprising to see her tried over what appeared to be too short a trip that day, given that she had run in the Irish Oaks in the summer, and this step up in trip on the more testing Fibresand surface should bring about vast improvement. Any support for Clive Brittain's Neshla should be heeded, while Lanfredo has a bit of experience and was placed twice earlier in the season, so could make his presence felt, but the class of Flyingit is hard to ignore, and she should take all the beating.
