Yukon River, by Camelot out of a middle-distance winner, makes a belated debut and has no fancy entries though wouldn't need to be anything special to make a successful start. EASTMORE has done well enough in his two starts to earn the vote. He still looked green when narrowly beaten into third at Killarney and looks the one to beat. Deakin was well supported to make a winning handicap debut at the Curragh but found 1m2f just too short. Tommy Thug has had his chances but Zariygann is related to a couple of middle-distance winners.
