Ipswich go into this meeting with the same line-up as yesterday but reverting back to their original riding order. Leicester did quite well at Foxhall last season, winning one of the fixtures, so will fancy their chances. Preview:-

Bit of a red herring that. The team was obliterated by injury and Ellis then crashed out of the meeting in his opening ride.

Interesting that Doyle still is promoting the Poland Vs Rest of World meeting on 7th of June on his social media and he is still registered to take rides in it…

If he's not fit it seems daft to ride in a challenge match, especially as there's dozens of possible replacements. Now if it was Poland vs Australia I could totally understand him coming back early.

However if he thinks he'll be 90% fit & wants to test himself before racing in league meetings / GPs, then it makes perfect sense.

Surely it's better to come back in a challenge match as opposed to a league match, it's only a competitive test session after all. The 2-3 month recovery period for a dislocated hip that some have mentioned seems a bit long, Google quotes 12-16 weeks for a dislocated shoulder, Kyle Howarth popped his out the other week and was riding again a week or so later.

Old promo poster. Don't get too much from that. Surely it was pre crash contract for that meeting and he will be replaced if not fit.

It might be an old promo poster but he is still in the line up and he posted in the day he flew back to England (Tuesday) which would show he is promoting it still. And Rew posted the same poster yesterday (Wed) with Doyle listed as riding.

I’m not saying he will ride, but knowing him, he won’t want to be on the side lines long as this is his last chance for SGP and Manchester is a week after the test match, maybe he is hoping to still ride in it? Who knows, only thought I’d share the info… I’m not saying he is or isn’t riding in it.

SHOULD still be winning this. But, Leicester are a good side and have riders that go well here. Could be close 

If the track is bone dry and extra slick,, the Lions winning wouldn't be a shock,,but I expect the Witches to win by 10

My second visit of the season to Foxhall and the Witches are already 2 riders down!! Agree that this should be a Witches win but they are weaker for sure and Leicester are possibly the strongest visitors to Foxhall so far in 2025! Hoping for a good meeting anyway and welcome back Danyon!
