Young Hurricane makes a quick reappearance after posting a better effort in similar company at Bangor last week. He can figure in this while Riguez Dancer will be taking advantage of a slip down the weights before long. Talkin Thomas has a shout on his recent placed form including a third to Tiny Dancer here last time. BALTIC PATHFINDER found only one too good at Newcastle last month. Sue Smith's charge scored over course and distance in January and can effectively race off a lower mark today with a conditional's allowance taking into account. He gets the vote with Farm Pixie still looking a shade high in the weights.
