Aesop (9/2), Wichita (5/1), Khairy (7/1), Victory Road (7/1), Monument Valley (9/1), Springbank (12/1), Bligh (12/1), Fiscal Rules (14/1), Mostaqqer (14/1), Alexei Vronsky (16/1), Zahira Loredana (25/1), Russian Dream (25/1), Layfayette (25/1), Miss Molly T (40/1), Rotokura (50/1), Little Brother (66/1), Depardieu (66/1), King Of The Ville (66/1)

None of these have graced the racecourse, so the betting will surely be an essential guide. Aidan O'Brien is responsible for three, with Wichita perhaps better equipped than Victory Road and Monument Valley for this opening task. Layfayette and Russian Dream carry their merits but Jessica Harrington's juveniles have thrived this year and so there's plenty reason to be optimistic that AESOP will run a big race first time out.
