Forecasts

Northern Warrior (11/4), Purple Powahouse (4/1), Buster Keaton (4/1), Stevie Gee (6/1), Majorca Palace (8/1), Happy Wanderer (17/2), Mac Hardy (9/1), Get Carter (11/1), Eau De Vie (20/1), Silent Trigger (22/1)

BUSTER KEATON is narrowly favoured. Northern Warrior looks a dangerous opponent, while Purple Powahouse may grab a bit more place money.
