MISS BALLANTYNE would probably have been placed on her hurdling debut at Wetherby had she not fallen two out. Being nicely bred, it's safe to assume there will be improvement to come and she can make the most of her mare's allowance in this. Dance Tempo has to go on the short-list after finding only High Storm too strong on his comeback run at Stratford while Catch Tammy has been quite highly tried so far, though was a little disappointing when favourite over C&D last month. Sure Thing has won a couple of point-to-points and is worth watching on his debut over timber.
