Several with chances in a competitive opener, with the suggestion being Northern raider SOMEBODYCOMEGETHER who would have been closer at Redcar last time but for being denied a clear run. Gregorians Star made a good start to his handicap career on the Flat over a much shorter trip here recently and will be a threat if his stamina holds. Last-time-out 1¾m course 1-2 Rupert The Prince and Wannabeawallaby are also shortlisted along with Star of Jupiter.
