ROSY RYAN and Mama Afric a both contested races last time that have been working out well. The former beat three subsequent winners last time and that makes a 3lb rise in the weights appear generous. Kevin Ryan has his horses going well so Cline and Al Hawraa are worth watching in pre-race trading. Totally Magic is consistent and the rider has a good strike rate for the yard so another prominent display is expected.
