I have zero idea who it is but at a guess possibly Slater Lightcap given both him and Cairns fall under Greg Hancock and Hancock has connections with the Fords.

Been saying that for a while, definitely a prospect, had a good meeting at worky in the Ben fund a couple of years ago, now seems to be doing well in the GP2 and Poland

According to the local Echo, 'the Poole Management will not be rushed into making a signing just to make up the numbers'!

"The search continues......"

Perhaps this might help.

Think he would be a good signing, young, hungry, good people behind him and would have good support from the Fords as far as settling into English racing goes the only caveat is I don't know if he's a trapper or not as get the impression ideally you need to be a good gater at Poole or have the talent to come from the back like Loram, Ward or Henka and there's not many riders in that mould sadly.

To me that sounds like they have options for signings, but are happy to use guests as they feel they are stronger (perhaps not for long) and want to find the best rider available (obviously).

So I don't see why the BSPL should grant am extension of the guest facility for Bowes in this instance. For a heat leader, I can understand clubs struggling for a replacement, but for a reserve, when there's options (Fredriksen, Bowtell, Morley) 28 days is long enough.

But this should be for all teams, not just Poole.
