Forecasts

Eligible (2/1), Old Port (11/4), My Brother Mike (15/2), Fennaan (8/1), Far From A Ruby (10/1), Pink Jazz (14/1), Simulation Theory (14/1), Gertcha (20/1), Universal Effect (20/1), Full Approval (50/1)

FENNAAN is well handicapped on his old form and he's joined a yard that does very well with recruits from other yards. He should go very close off a career-low mark. Old Port should improve up in trip on handicap debut and has to be taken seriously. My Brother Mike is in-form and won't be far away either.
