RYE House promoter Len Silver says he already has five members of his 2013 team in place with a No.1 and a reserve required to complete the line-up.The Rockets have candidates for both positions with Silver admitting that he would like to add further experience alongside captain Jason Bunyan.He said: For the No.1 slot, I am not looking for a spectacular rider. I have plenty of those. The team needs a rider of long experience who can score consistently and reliably on all tracks. He also needs to be a person who fits in with our family ideology and not a prima donna. Such riders are not easy to find, but at present I am in discussions and hope to be able to make an announcement within a short time, possibly as soon as our Annual Conference is complete.
