Racing Post verdict
Third-partyCarry The Flag heads the market on a rating shared with Where Love Lives, but his recent Group 3 second at the Curragh — where he was beaten only by the subsequent high-class juvenile winner — reads as strong form heading into this competitive five-furlong dash on good-to-firm ground at Ascot. The experience he brings to a large field of 21 could prove a telling advantage, and his consistency at the top level makes him a worthy pick to go one better here. Where Love Lives, whose debut win has been given a solid boost by subsequent events, is the chief threat from the home team, while Fanshell Beach and Star Prospect — the latter's suitability to the faster surface a slight unknown — complete the main dangers. **Carry The Flag** is our selection, though this is a fiercely competitive heat and the confidence level is modest.
