Don't think it is as windy as last time. Although it is really warm today so will need to watered a lot as you say. Fingers crossed it will be okay as it was good against Oxford on Good Friday.
Looks like he is riding? Scunny have been on twitter and nothing saying there are doubts about Ryan. Also Ryan has put a meeting promo thing on his Instagram and nothing about him not riding.
Should be as he is only going to improve. As team managers have already said this season and neither of them were Middlo! Gavin Parr said the Cook's are 'going to explode this year' in regard to Champ obviously and Rob Lyon said he could see Ben Cook is going to do what Basso did last year.
You knew all this before the season started, so why sign him in the first place? Also Poole could move back up in 2024 so you wouldn't have him anyway.
I don't think it is. I used to laugh when Eastbourne used to do it! Plus no one goes near the start line at Poole in between each heat. Tractor only goes out after every 3/4 heats. So unless the invisible man is doing it, it isn't happening!
Also I got a fair few likes for my 'biting' on twitter
