      Verdict

      With half of the six entries, Aidan O'Brien should have this sewn up though the 80,000 euros filly Its My Turn should be ideally suited by this trip and her yard is still firing them in. U S NAVY FLAG has the advantage of experience having finished fourth behind odds-on stable companion Dali at Naas where he wasn't knocked about. That's enough to hand him the vote over Murillo, a half-brother to five winners up to a mile, and War Ensign, a half-brother to the Group 1 winner Moonlight Cloud and other winners.
