No chance with that score Glasgow win will be a bonus for them. IMO

Definitely not.

I think it’ll be close; my heart says us, but my head says them.

Wouldn’t be surprised if we see a Dan Thompson masterclass.

I think both sides look strong, so hopefully we’ll see some good racing.

I think Glasgow might decide they got rid of the wrong 8 pointer.

Dan  has now got Polish commitments and will miss some Saturdays, last Saturday being an example, so while he may well outscore Chris, Glasgow have made the right long term decision.

I expect Mario to struggle. Kevin might be OK but will likely be outscored by opposite numbers on his first visit.

I'm pretty sure Edinburgh will win but let's see how our new boys adapt during the meeting and see how our reserves stack up.

The 1-3-5 boys should be fairly equal and entertaining.

Maybe, but it’s a fine margin. Howarth’s no shows in heat fifteen and the race-off in the play-off final somewhat deflect the fact that at times, he was remarkable last season. His 5-1s with Harris against Edinburgh in the semi-final, taking Masters from behind (the Bishop said to the maid) at Ashfield, absolutely bullying Zach Cook at Ashfield in a critical race of the final, etc. 

Thompson’s 2025 was a strange one. I don’t think he was the same rider after his hand/wrist injury suffered in the U21 final. He had a great season, some tremendous meetings and played a huge part in our season, but his last effort in a Tigers’ race suit was to be surrender three points in being passed by Lewis Kerr. You could reverse engineer a whole meeting on where it was won and lost, but Thompson being done by Kerr wasn’t in the forecast.

I’m in no doubt however that Thompson will have a fantastic season at Armadale.
