It could pay to stick with FABULOUS FLYER (NAP) now she’s finally got her head in front. She won at Lingfield last month, beating Willow Spring, Justice Rock and Presto Boy, and had earlier finished ahead of Leith Bridge when placed at Wolverhampton. Give Us A Belle showed signs of a resurgence last time though has done all his winning on the all-weather so far at Wolverhampton while Swendab has just the one win in 28 attempts on the all-weather tracks. Lizzy's Dream won this last year off the same mark and can not be dismissed out of hand especially if supported in the betting.
