JamesB Posted April 20, 2023 Report Share Posted April 20, 2023 Riss being unavailable certainly makes the task more difficult. If the weather forecast is correct, the track could be a bit damp. This could impact on Holder the younger’s mindset, it has been known to before at Foxhall….. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted April 20, 2023 Report Share Posted April 20, 2023 Let's have some positivity,,,,, Ipswich won't have it all their own way,,, so taking that into account 74 16 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RideHard Posted April 20, 2023 Report Share Posted April 20, 2023 Ipswich fans very confident.. Holder started season very well this will be a test for him. Ellis and Bellego need good nights to keep it tight I expect Nicholls will be worth 7-8 points at least. 50-40 home win my prediction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno Posted April 20, 2023 Report Share Posted April 20, 2023 How's the weather down there, says a few showers this afternoon. Any chance this could be off, long drive for nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The track will be dry at the moment, so it will depend on the volume of any rain should it happen. With this type of weather, it’s just a lottery. Last week, the forecast was for it to be dry and then it rained for most of the meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weatherbug has 40% chance of showers at 3pm, 10% at 4pm and then dry for the rest of the evening. Difficult to know which one to believe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted April 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2023 1 hour ago, tocha said: Either you have mis-read the meeting preview or it has been amended subsequently but it shows RR for Riss. Definitely said Riss was hoping to ride, seems not in the end, which is a blow. 1 hour ago, szkocjasid said: The preview has definitely been edited with the new situation regarding Riss Correct. Original preview listed Riss as riding. 23 minutes ago, bruno said: How's the weather down there, says a few showers this afternoon. Any chance this could be off, long drive for nothing Been dry for days and Met Office is still saying a 50% chance of a shower for Ipswich mid-late afternoon, with the heavier showers more to the south East. If you have a long drive it’s obviously up to you and I don’t want to tempt you in to travelling and then the forecast is wrong! But personally, the forecast wouldn’t be enough to put me off from travelling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted April 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2023 (edited) R/R just doesn’t cut if for Riss as it’s already shown. Not with the way our team is built. I still thought we could just about get over the line against Belle Vue but it didn’t happen and I fear it may also be the case again this evening. If it was Lynn or Peterborough I’d still fancy it, but not so sure against Sheffield. We’ll see.

SPEEDY69 Posted April 20, 2023 Report Share Posted April 20, 2023 (edited) The amount of rain is tiny though, less than the water cart would put down Edited April 20, 2023 by SPEEDY69 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bojangles Posted April 20, 2023 Report Share Posted April 20, 2023 What's going on with Scott Nicholls this year? He's been unbelievable. Must have rediscovered his love of the sport (or invested a few quid in some new equipment). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
