Forecasts

Mambo Dancer (15/8), Author's Dream (9/4), Barye (6/1), Rydan (7/1), Seaport (8/1), Silver Quay (16/1), Havana Beat (20/1)

Both Author's Dream and Mambo Dancer have made rapid strides in the AW staying sphere this winter, particularly the former who again appeared to win with a fair bit up his sleeve when scoring over C&D last time out. Both are going to take some beating despite their rising marks but RYDAN remains largely unexposed over this distance and could offer some value under the talented Theodore Lad if building on the form he showed to finish a short-head second over C&D just after Christmas when last tried at this trip.
