      Verdict

      The recent form shown by Flight Of Esteem is enough to give the Peter Harris-trained a confident vote and he is selected over King Eider and Prince Willem - although a move for the in-form Lennel could also be interesting. But Flight Of Esteem is still very well treated at present and should not find his current mark an insurmountable barrier at this level. The booking of Darryll Holland is also an obvious plus.
