Madaares gets the confident vote in this maiden with Oasis Flower and Just Lille rated as the main danger. The selection ran a cracker last time at Ripon when a close third behind Flying Clarets. That form has since been franked and with ground conditions to suit and his yard in good form he should take plenty of stopping. Oasis Flower finished in mid-division on his debut at Nottingham and he is sure to come on for the run. His yard are firing out winners at present and he is certainly one to note in the market. Just Lille showed plenty of promise on her debut at Thirsk when fifth behind Royal Envoy, and she is another that has to be of interest stepped-up in trip to a mile. Silk Topper was disappointing on his debut and he may do better over further in time and for the winner we will stick with Madaares.
