Forecasts

Torivega (1/2), Double Jabbed (11/2), Never Shout Never (6/1), Greek Flower (13/2), Blue News (15/2), Wooden Head (12/1), See Me Through (28/1), Star Of Freya (33/1), Cant Catch Camacho (50/1), Charlie Brow'n (150/1), Tijuana (150/1), Lady Wingalong (200/1), Pretty Company (200/1)

TORIVEGA sets the bar pretty high for a maiden and should prove hard to beat. The fact Never Shout Never went off at 15/8 on his debut suggests he's thought capable of better than he showed on that occasion and he can leave that form behind and fill the forecast spot. Wooden Head showed promise on his C&D debut and may prove best of the rest.
