'The Guineas is a long way off but he is a horse who’s thriving on racing'

US Navy Flag: Classic winner in waiting or 'just' a two-year-old?

Harry Bentley, jockey
Ryan Moore thinks he’s improving with each run and that certainly seems to be the case. He’s got the profile of an improver and did everything right in a good Dewhurst on Saturday. From what we’ve seen this season he has every chance of training on next year and being a genuine Classic contender.

Roger Charlton, trainer
The Guineas is a long way off but he is a horse who’s thriving on racing and improving with each run. There’s nothing to suggest US Navy Flag won’t train on. His sister Roly Poly was a tough two-year-old filly and she certainly hasn’t stopped delivering this year.

Ed Dunlop, trainer
He was very impressive. You have to ask yourself how many others are capable of finishing in front of him at the moment? He’s a brother to Roly Poly, who is tough and has kept getting better at three, and you cannot take anything away from Aidan O’Brien in how he has campaigned the horse and got him to improve.
