Just read that Kevin is struggling with his shoulder injury!

I too thought Manzares had nicked it in heat 5 and had started texting that result. But morris flier in heat 14 was unreal. Heaven knows why it wasn't called back. King was outstanding in heat 1 off 15m. But Worrall & Sedgy tried to be too careful. After that cookie had him in his pocket - gave him a start twice. Rollin' rode well. Covatti disappointed me. Heeps & Manzares were nothing much. Neilsen was poor - bike problems? His heat 12 attempts were a joke. Morris scored well but the flier helped. Smilin' Sam was missed - Richie seemed a bit down on speed. Sedgy got going in his 3rd & 4th rides. Good performance. Kevin looked slow. Erik was steady but also looked slow. Both Germans had a couple of good gates. Cookie was just immense. Didn't move at all at the gate. Wasn't always gating first but even from behind was so fast. Cleggy rode ok. Stupid tapes exclusion in his first but pretty steady thereafter. Greenwood never threatened unfortunately and was a bit unsteady in heat 2 till Cleggy got past. Decent meeting though. Probably better than eastenders. Pretty much nip & tuck with a flurry of 5-1 from heat 10. And the Ippo fans stayed till the end this time unlike the last time we were in town!

Cookie Cookie Cookie!

First race probably won't be till 8!!

Every time he lines up to start a race. Good song for it though.

Creeping not as bad as Rollin'.

Exactly!! And is this the Richie Worrall that's maybe pondering his future in the sport? And is this the Ippo that now have Rollin Rohan back on form? Banker home win.

Who else is missing?

No need to get smug!! Just remember............. EDINBURGH 'Border Roofing' MONARCHS...53 IPSWICH 'Sackers' WITCHES...37

Stroll in the jungle for the big cats.

Spot on. Need Richie to be on a big revenge mission like he was with Somerset at Ippo the other week.

So monarchs will be bottom of the group then. But remember Erik is world long track champion.

Could lose 3 in 3 days this week, but we might not.

He was good at Peterborough.

No herring though.

Don't fancy Worky's chances.

Where do Edinburgh fit in to this thread?

Rebels probably are.

Dang so they are!! Nice one!!

Walk in the forest for Ippo? But there are bears in the woods and branches to trip over.

Easy run for Somerzet.

Yep it's tempting!! But I thought CL needed my cash to pay Rolling Rohan & co?

Stroll in the park for Ippo.

Strange - he flew in a couple of heats at Peterborough.

Not great but maybe not too much choice especially for the reserve berth.
