Ashes Regained,Soar With Eagles and Purple Moon are three against the field in this maiden and the vote is given to Ashes Regained. The selection was doing all his best work at the finish when fourth behind Arm Candy last season. He has reportedly strengthened up through the winter and with his yard in good form and the step up in trip sure to suit he looks the pone to be on. Soar With Eagles rates the main danger as he is a well bred Kingmambo colt, half-brother to numerous winners up to 7f and hails from a top yard so he should be noted in the market.Purple Moon is a Galileo colt, half-brother to numerous winners up to 1m5f including the smart performers La Sylphide and Vespone but he is bred to be suited by further in time and for that reason he is opposed. Of those to have run Mahrajaan and Five Two look the best but there form does not look that strong and it will be disappointing if they win and with this in mind for the winner we return to Ashes Regained.
