For those about place your bets I should ignore the Summer 09 magazine unless your money is going on Matt Biggs and Rob Kennaugh. Of the 11 named they are the only ones actually entered!

This is the last week for the cut price entry - and the berths near to the bar ; the fresh water ; and the ramp will soon go! 

My longshot for the championships is Sophie Mackley fresh from her victory at Burton Week with Jo Richards - she was the first to enter - but perhaps that will be her downfall as it will mean her helmsman Phil Emery gets the berth nearest the bar!
