Verdict
Runner-up at this C&D on penultimate start, HAVIN A FLYER could be worth forgiving a lesser effort on all-weather debut last time now returned to this venue. With a high draw to help, she is taken to resume her progress to get off the mark, though U Turn isn't taken lightly back down in grade, with Davorge Nation also considered.

VerdictOff the mark when getting the better of Havin A Flyer over C&D in August. Backed that up when third of 14 in nursery at Southwell (6.1f, 4/1) 9 days ago, though shaped as if a drop back to 5f will suit. Interesting with blinkers back on.
