Laertes (13/8), Under Curfew (4/1), Boom The Groom (5/1), Universal Grace (11/2), Darlo Pride (9/1), Profitable Dawn (9/1), Mintana (10/1), Toplight (16/1), Next Second (20/1), Storm Melody (25/1), Reversion (25/1)

This looks wide open but LAERTES is taken to make a winning start for Mick Appleby having slipped in the weights and gain his breakthrough success, with Oisin Murphy in the saddle for the first time. Under Curfew is handily weighted and rates a big threat with recent Lingfield scorer Boom the Groom also highly respected along with C&D second Universal Grace.
