Cantor's steady improvement culminated in his first win last month when successful at Kempton but he'll need to show further progress here, while Flag Of Glory bounced back to form at the same track recently when scoring at a big price. The latter remains on a winning mark judged on his best efforts, though ISDAAL is preferred. Her penalty for winning over 1m4f last week is negated by an apprentice and she had gone very close in a tougher race over C&D before that. Count Ceprano is showing signs of revival and looks best of the remainder.
