Forecasts

Ingqwele (5/2), Rhydian (4/1), Dupont Emerald (9/2), Laguna Verde (7/1), Tripping Thunder (7/1), Susurrando (7/1), Globetonic (7/1), Prince Florian (7/1), Blame It On Me (20/1), Tower Of London (50/1), Play Act (50/1)

RHYDIAN formwise has not much to fear here and shouldn't really be troubled. Dupont Emerald is the most pragmatic second choice, while Globetonic might be worth siding with for third.
