After a decent re-appearance run SPEED DATING looks the one to side with in a tight handicap at the expense of Crystal Feather and Jackie Kiely. A winner of a similar race at Carlisle last term the selection returned from a lengthy break to only just miss out over course and distance last time. He should come on for the run and off the same mark looks to have a really strong claim on the contest. Crystal Feather ran well over and inadequate trip under this burden on his last start and should improve for the extra yardage. Jackie Kiely should be competitive off this mark enough for the places at least at a price while Gosforth Park might have a squeak off bottom weight. Magic Haze is unexposed at this track and has already tasted success here so is another for the pot but in a tight race Speed Dating looks well treated.
