Italian Job For Flashy

Flashy Wings could round off her season by tackling 10 furlongs for the first time in Italy later this month.

Mick Channon's charge bypassed the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot owing to the easy ground there but the West Ilsley handler is planning to step her up in trip at Rome on October 22.

He said: 'The plan is to take her to Italy for the Premio Lydia Tesio, although that plan is dependent on decent ground. The great thing is she's likely to remain in training next year.'

Flashy Wings had an admirable record as a juvenile, winning four of her six starts including the Queen Mary and Lowther Stakes.

The daughter of Zafonic has only run three times this term though after being under a cloud when conditions were in her favour in the summer.

She is also engaged in the Cathay Pacific Hong Kong Mile at Sha Tin in Hong Kong on December 10.
