He's got a chance against hook he usually has mechanical issues in most meetings, poor machinery, badly prepared. 

It is indeed a tough ask for an inexperienced lad at this level, but he has been given the opportunity as he has come on a fair bit since last year.  His mission should he choose to accept it ( and he has ) is to take 2 points from his 3 rides against the more experienced  Jacob Hook or Vinnie Foord and it's job done !   Presumably Monarchs do appear to need a 2.00 in the #7 slot as there may be a certain number of points available when the new averages are out at the end of May.  Has been stated elsewhere that there could be up to  almost 10.00 including Oscar's departing 6.00.   If that is the case maybe a further re-jig of the team strength is up for consideration.  Or maybe not ?!!

Just seen Edinburgh have declared mark parker at reserve, a Cumbrian but imo not at championship level, so may have a impact for a comets victory over 2 legs 

That’s too simple.Like I say riders dictate when they are available in GB.

Surely two points won’t be lost on rebuilding it’ll just be 2 points towards further riders we could sign. 

Crikey. I hope Hook, Bewley, Tate and anyone else who’s been diving off bridges this week with him haven’t caught it as well
