Plusvital Round Tower Stakes (Group 3)

U S Navy Flag is going the right way since getting the blinkers fitted and his second in the Phoenix Stakes here last time is the standout piece of form. He is clearly the one to beat, but is likely to be priced accordingly and might be worth opposing as such. The decision to send Leopardstown maiden winner Landshark straight here is noted, while Betsey Trotter is a lurking improver too but SANKARI ROYALE could be the fly in the ointment. Johnny Murtagh's charge didn't get the clear run last time when runner-up in Listed Newbury contest over the minimum trip. He must improve again, but has the scope to do that and can have a big say here.

1. Sankari Royale
