MICK CHANNON'S LEADING LIGHTS

FLASHY WINGS
3yo ch f Zafonic/Lovealoch
She needs no introduction and was a pleasure to train last year. I have always thought that she would make up into a Guineas filly and she will go to Newmarket with a very solid chance. She could give me my first Classic.

GUEST CONNECTIONS
3yo b g Zafonic/Llyn Gwynant
Picked up a Group 3 at San Siro last June and then struggled against the likes of Horation Nelson and Geroge Washington. He is probably not up to Classic standard, but he is an impressive gelding who will be seen in some quality races this year.

SILVER TOUCH
3yo bf Dansili/Sanpala
unraced at two, I am hopeful that this backward type will progress into a decent three-year-old this summer. She has shown the right attitude on the gallops and will be ready to go to the track quite oon. If she translates her home work to the racecourse she will win races this season.

ROSE ZAMINDAR
2yo bf Zamindar/Queen of Fairies
This filly came from the Deauville Sales and was not an over-expensive purchase at 36,000. Jaber Abdullah has had some grand types with me in the past, and this one shows every sign of having beena shrewd purchase.
