In depth
Verdict
A tricky bumper to judge with all of the runner making debuts but CINDERS AND ASHES has a very nice flat pedigree and in the hands of a top yard can take all the beating if living up to his bloodlines. Hightown is related to a bumper winner but might need further than this to be seen at his best while Brambley has some Group winners in his family but his low price tag is a bit off putting. Zahirah Moon and Go Set Go would also have claims on the pedigree front but in a race where the market might be our best guide Cinders To ashes is a tentative pick.
