GiveusaB 1,145 Posted July 19, 2023 Worral/Batch evens... my opinion is based on what I've seen from both riders around PB....not in general! As for Ben Cook? Oh dear...sounds like he's as good as, if not better, than Zach!? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh dear...sounds like he's as good as, if not better, than Zach!? Steve got 8+1 and 10+1 from visits last season. The 8+1 included a retirement in H13 when he was leading the race (so that would have been a paid max). So really the only oppo rider to beat him over 4 laps at Birmingham was Tom Brennan. So I will stick with he is ahead of Batch! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your entitled to your opinion We can compare scores tomorrow Worrall is good, but if he doesn't make the gate, he wont pass Batchelor/Bowtell or even Sedgemen.... Btw....Alfie Bowtell beat Tom Brennan last week ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And Tom Brennan beat Sayfutdinov at Belle Vue, doesn't mean that Bowtell is gonna be World Champion any time soon! Different night, possible different conditions, different riders all lead to a possible different result. But Pirates still win! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arnieg 3,643 Posted July 19, 2023 The big question tonight is: Who will score more - Rowe or Newman? (If Rowe outscores Newman then he stays in top 5 for August, otherwise Newman moves up from reserve) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Winning the meeting will be uppermost in his & most folks minds this evening. Edited July 19, 2023 by lbw Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deano 1,318 Posted July 19, 2023 Easy win for Poole this one. I really can't see where the next win is coming from for the Brummies. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can’t make up my mind as to which would be stronger, as they are or Newman at 2 and Rowe at reserve. Indeed, would it make any difference? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Different night, possible different conditions, different riders all lead to a possible different result. But Pirates still win! In essence, the point I was trying to make to Lisa, is that Worrall is just an average Heat Leader round PB, just as is Troy..... Nothing special like Bomber/Nicholls/Douglas..... Yes, Pirates will 'p#ss' it tonight! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

King is riding as a guest because he's the best available option! (being dumped by Poole last season adds a bit of 'spice' ! ) I'd agree that the 3 teams you've named ate favourites, but I wouldn't say Redcar have no chance 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
