Forecasts

Purple Power (7/2), Western Music (4/1), I Know How (11/2), Lincoln Gamble (11/2), Won Love (7/1), Million Reasons (15/2), Katheefa (8/1), Queen Of Burgundy (8/1), Paddy Power (16/1), Storm Over (20/1)

PURPLE POWER starts out for her new yard on a good mark judged on the pick of her form, so she's put forward as the answer fitted with a first-time tongue strap. Western Music should give another good account following a 3 lb rise for Southwell, with Lincoln Gamble also respected.
