Forecasts

Emblem Empire (15/8), Menai Bridge (9/4), Old Port (11/4), Anythingtoday (9/1), You're Hired (12/1)

OLD PORT has progressed with each of his three starts since switched to handicaps, completing the hat-trick at Kempton recently, and a 2 lb rise for that looks very fair indeed. Further improvement is entirely possible and he is marginally preferred to Emblem Empire, who pulled clear of a dual subsequent winner when runner-up over C&D in December. Menai Bridge is also accorded respect.
