Having made an impressive winning debut at Newcastle, YAANAAS improved a chunk to remain unbeaten at Kempton 3 weeks ago, and with further progress on the cards, Roger Varian's charge gets the nod to make a winning turf/handicap debut. Baltimore Boy didn't get the chance to show what he could do on return at Doncaster last month so he may emerge as the main threat, with Diffident Spirit and last year's winner Repertoire another couple worth considering.
