Arch Stanton Posted April 16 Report Share Posted April 16 https://ipswichwitches.co/raceday-preview-oxford-rowe-motor-oil-premiership-r1-h/ Nicholls guests for Kerr, Riss at reserve. Both obviously know Foxhall very well. Interesting meeting ahead.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavan Posted April 16 Report Share Posted April 16 This is definitely a banana skin for us Magic is class Wright goes well at Ipswich Tungate Harris Nicholls and Riss all know Ipswich well For me much hinges on Jenkins getting 4 or 5 and King and Ellis scoring about 13 or 14 between them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTT Posted April 16 Report Share Posted April 16 Probably Ipswich's toughest home meeting they'll have all season due to certain riders in the Oxford side who know Foxhall well. Riss will have a point to prove and if he's back to his old self then he could put up big numbers, Tungate is in red hot form, Wright and Nicholls are both very good around Foxhall too. Emil and Doyley to win it for the Witches in what could be a last heat decider. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to this one even more now with Riss and Nicholls in the Oxford side. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chun Posted April 16 Report Share Posted April 16 how much longer will nicholls be able to trade off that cheap 5.1 average? I assume that was based on last year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is now a rolling average, but that means most of the matches are from 2022 as he didn't have a Prem team in 2023. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technik Posted April 16 Report Share Posted April 16 I think the home team will shade it in the bigger races but I suspect it will be a close one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's his current Prem rolling ave, so he should be available on that for the rest of the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They changed the rules to allow more guests. I guess because the fans all love guests? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralMelchett Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 Tough call but a slender home win here - given the number of ex Witches the Spires have they should be looking to go well here! I hope to be at Owlerton tomorrow rain permitting, but should be in town for the following week V Sheffield which will be odd! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szkocjasid Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 Really tough match to call. Oxford look to have better all round strength, but Ipswich look amazing at 1,5&7. Narrow win for Ipswich for me, can't see Oxford having an 8 point lead ahead of heats 13&15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4BenMoran Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 The Doyle/Sayfutdinov show will bring it home for Ipswich, 48-42 with it being decided in the last race Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that it takes much, but Nicholls has outsmarted the rule makers/promotors. He technically signed for Wolves last year and has signed for Birmingham this year thus meaning he continues on a rolling average of not alot (not his Chanpionship converted) without guest bookings effecting that. He can continue to take guest bookings and scoring heavily without it effecting his average, picking and choosing which meetings he does to go alongside his TV work.
