HANS Andersen is set to ride for Pirates at Belle Vue tomorrow after his Danish meeting was called off.

The Poole skipper had been due to race for Region Varde against visitors Slangerup in the Danish Speedway League.

But following the postponement of the meeting, Andersen swiftly booked his flight to Britain and is due to line up at the National Speedway Stadium.

Pirates are missing Grzegorz Zengota and Nicolai Klindt for the clash in Manchester so Andersen's avaiability will provide a welcome boost.

Zengota is unavailable while Klindt is sidelined with a knee injury, with the full extent of the problem set to become clear tomorrow.
