Having said that, he’d do well to stay completely clear of Bangs while he’s getting to grips with Foxhall! Could be a very interesting spectacle watching his early heats on Thursday which is the main reason I’m taking the trip across to give him a look. 

Agree and I think we’re all intrigued and looking forward to seeing PHB ride on Thursday. It’s the one signing that has generated a bit of interest and without him, it would all have felt a little flat with all due respect to the others.

I’ve said it before, but I’ve always wanted to sign a Rew/Bangs every winter because it freshens things up and gives us someone new to run the rule over. We recycle the same old riders here generally and we know everything about them, what they can do, and how they ride. Bangs gives us that element of the unknown which is exciting.

Impossible to predict how he’ll get on mind you. Seems a talent and a good signing on the face of it, but then again I thought Francis Gusts was a good signing for Oxford and he turned out to be awful so you never can tell.

On his first visit to Foxhall I was impressed with gusts on track, don’t remember what he scored but got better every time he came out and had a real go, didn’t push on like I thought he would but morale looked pretty low in the Oxford pits last year, tough environment for a foreign youngster to come into and the pressure be straight on you

Trouble with gusts was he used to get the wind up

A preview or sorts 🥴 its bizarrely buried at the bottom of an article on Jason Edwards! No preview or words from the team manager like we used to get from Hawkins for every meeting either but hey ho. 
 

Personally, I’d have gone for Lawson at 2. From memory has a great record in heat one’s when the track is freshly graded. We know his gating skills.

Pretty routine win for the Witches in my opinion, I think our reserves will take a while to settle and Ben doesn’t traditionally do very well at Foxhole.
