Forecasts

Matty's Mate (11/10), Roccana Rose (4/1), Winter Flight (4/1), Thepassingtyphoon (13/2), Ocean Rose (11/1), Megatothemax (12/1), Three Of Spades (25/1), Mr Sunny (40/1), Five Lanes (50/1)

MATTY'S MATE makes obvious appeal on paper for a top stable and is taken to make a winning debut. Megatothemax, Roccana Rose and Winter Flight are a trio of other debutants to note and any confidence behind them in the betting would be interesting.
