mikebv 10,292 Posted October 19, 2023 Pity Huckenbeck is in the GP's, would be a decent rider around the NSS... Presume his average now goes up? Or does his old one apply? Adam Ellis is a surprise for me, presume it is more for away tracks? As BF apart not seen him have too many good meetings at the NSS.. Wright missing out would be a shame as always good to watch...

But now in GPs I can’t see him wanting a Uk return Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also it’s hard for any heat leader to come belle Vue and do well against our lot who are dialled in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bradford Ace 183 Posted October 19, 2023 I’d definitely be going for Ben Cook, great little rider. Would much prefer him to Rew Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4BM 116 Posted October 19, 2023 (edited) Good luck with Ellis, been slow for last 2 seasons, average has gone south since 3/4 of the way through the 2021 season. I heard the other week that Ben Cook was nailed in for an Aces spot in 2024, that would be a good signing as can ride all tracks Edited October 19, 2023 by 4BM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But improved massively on continent so he’s not become a bad rider. there is a rider in there. And I think riding with dan will bring that out of him in Uk.

4BM 116 Posted October 19, 2023 Adam’s problem has been that due to being a bit of a gating tart not having speed he just ends up looking lost at the back. Can honestly say I can count on one hand the amount of times he has come from the back home or away in the last few seasons. When he gates he’s usually gone, it really can you afford a rider that goes 3,0,3,0 each meeting. Hope he gets a team spot somewhere as always a shame when a British rider misses out on a UK spot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rew on a 4.00 would be a far superior signing than Cook on a 6.00. Cook has done very well this year don’t get me wrong, but in the long run Rew is a far bigger talent and will go on to be a much better rider IMO. Why would Ipswich not use Rew though? Sign him on a 5.00, give him a bedding in year to learn the tracks, and then not retain him on a point less? Makes no sense from an Ipswich perspective. Rew has struggled at times hence his average, but has also shown flashes of his undoubted ability. He’ll kick on next year.
