BALTIC PATHFINDER has gone very well here in the past and Shane Byrne's claim is a bonus. He hasn't run since June but that's rarely a problem for one of Sue Smith's and he gets the vote. Soul Angel was beginning to look progressive over fences when scoring at Hexham in March and will pose a threat if ready after a break but Ferdy Murphy's French recruit Mansonien L'As hasn't shown much and is now on the mark of a poor plater. Panthers Run ran better than could have been expected under a penalty at Wetherby after scoring at Hexham for which he has been raised just 3lb.
