Forecasts

Velvet Crush (2/1), Lohengrin (9/4), Raqeebb (9/2), Marching Band (5/1), Fictional (8/1), Dire La Verite (18/1), Fletcher's Flight (150/1), Silver Atom (250/1), Lesleyanne (300/1)

VELVET CRUSH did very well to get a place considering she completely missed the break at Kempton on debut and, with significant improvement anticipated, she gets the nod over Raqeebb, who is the clear pick of the newcomers. Lohengrin also has potential.
