CARRY THE FLAG is the obvious one having been reeled in only late by Tuesday's Coventry winner Great Barrier Reef in the Marble Hill at the Curragh. This stiff 5f should be ideal for the son of No Nay Never (winner of this race in 2013) and he can provide Aidan O'Brien with a record-breaking fifth win. Where Love Lives is another whose form has been boosted by the Coventry, while the betting suggests Ez Tina is the pick of Wesley Ward's 3 fillies.
