6.20 Wolverhampton, Monday, January 22

In the Betway Handicap (6.20) at Wolverhampton on Monday, Flight Of Fantasy is untried on Tapeta, but her form on Polytrack bears close inspection and she looks worth chancing off an 8lb higher mark than when winning by 5 lengths, eased down, in a 0-75 contest at Kempton 17 days ago. By necessity, Harry Dunlop’s 4-year-old filly steps up into 0-85 company, but had previously only just been touched off – albeit off a handicap mark 9lb lower than today – in a 0-90 contest, also at Kempton, and is clearly going the right way. In fact, the winner that day, Al Hamdany, was only beaten a neck, off a 3lb higher mark, in a 0-105 contest over this course and distance on his next start, so the form looks strong. The daughter of Nathaniel is entitled to improve for her latest Kempton run, her first since early November, and looks to have an outstanding chance if taking to the surface. She’s better on the all-weather than elsewhere and was considered a possible for an Oaks trial early last season.
