Verdict
Keep The River is a half-sister to the stable’s useful hurdler River Icon and is possibly the most interesting of the newcomers. But those with experience set a decent standard with Rubytwo having finished third in this race last year and second at Perth later. WHITEOAK FLEUR is a well-bred half-sister to two winning jumpers. She was beaten less than a length by a subsequent winner when third on debut at Sedgefield last month and should be opening her account in this.
