Forecasts

Old Port (8/11), Crown Power (9/2), Mighty Power (15/2), Broomy Law (11/1), Mutaraafeq (16/1), The Bay Warrior (18/1), Rock Chant (25/1), Gerrots (25/1), Termonator (33/1), Rushmore (66/1), Swinton Noon (100/1)

OLD PORT took his form to a whole new level when making a winning handicap debut here 12 days ago and with this step up in trip sure to suit, a 5 lb rise looks lenient. Broomy Law and Crown Power are the pick of the opposition.
