All depends on Doyle and Emil being fully fit to race on full power but even on full power Kurtz and Bewley will be tough to beat home or away. Brennan is the key rider, I would fancy him to beat Lidsey, Ellis should beat Blodorn  and King should beat Zach at Ipswich but at Belle Vue may be a different story. I can see Zichke beating Thompson at belle Vue but could be the other way round at Ipswich, Jenkins should beat Mulford home and away. Overall I don't see much between the teams and a few ifs and buts so it will be close.

The one key factor that it could come down to is Zischke never doing a lap around a tricky Foxhall circuit.

I think he will be pretty good at Belle Vue but Ipswich can be tricky for the inexperienced although he wont be short of advice.

If Ipswich is tricky,, good job these riders don't have to visit lakeside, wolves and Eastbourne anymore then

Bewley can be up and down at Foxhall despite being quoted last year as saying he loves racing round there just doesn’t seem to score consistently.

kurtz for me has been the best away rider at Foxhall for a good few years now tbh

Yes I seem to remember last year Kurtz was very good at Foxhall.I think Lidsey and Blodorn have had decent meetings there too.

Slightly off topic, but with the above I do think a lot of riders of all levels are swayed with so called trick(y) tracks and are mentally beaten before they ride them. Remember at Arlington seeing it both ways, even in our NL days, some were beaten before they rode there, but remember Adam Ellis, Ellis Perks, and and others getting to grips( no pun intended) straight away. Obviously exceptional, but Dan Bewley's one meeting there early days in the NL saw him flirt with the fence in his first race, then win the next 4 and look amazing. Think it is probably a worse situation now, most can ride on the block, but don't have the throttle skills of riders gone by. Think it maybe partly the reason Tom Brennen has risen above the others of his era, honed his skill as a nipper at Arlington.
