Royal Flag ran out of steam over 1m2f at Newmarket on last year's debut. He's not easily overlooked but hasn't raced for over a year. Fallen In Line kept on for second in heavy ground at Doncaster back in May while Savant also drops back in distance after a couple of modest efforts over 1m2f. Esteban attempted to make all at Sandown last time but fell well short and ABOVE THE REST is preferred. He finished well clear of a subsequent winner when runner-up at Windsor on his latest outing and gets the vote on that form.
