Forecasts

Mostallim (15/8), Platinum Prince (3/1), Thomas Lanfiere (9/2), Cobra Eye (11/2), He's Our Star (15/2), Mungo's Quest (16/1), Kingston Kurrajong (40/1)

Michael Appleby has a good record with new recruits, so it could be worth chancing COBRA EYE, who was rated 40 lb higher at the start of last season. His stablemate Mostallim is also high on the shortlist under Oisin Murphy, while Thomas Lanfiere arrives at the top of his game having won 3 of his last 4 starts.
