February 21, 200719 yr Author 1. Dabill (because I would like a 4 stroke to win) 2. Jarvis (because he can) 3. Brown (because he is capable)
February 21, 200719 yr 1. Ishy 2. Perce 3. Kinell And now, being realistic.. 1. Jarvis. Not because I think he's best rider in the field this year, but because Malcolm knows every trick in the book... 2. Dabill. With his ability and on a bike that's been proven to do the job on the Scottish the lad could do VERY well. 3. Ben Hemmo. He might be gay, but we shouldn't hold that against him and he does know his stuff when it comes to the Scottish. (He's gonna kill me for this!) Wiggy - not this year. (He's down on the entry list as riding a 300cc - is that right???) I'd give him this year to find his feet and maybe another year to suss the moors, but I'd place a wager on him winning in 2009. I think best first-timer is in the bag though and a top 10 finish entirely possible.
February 21, 200719 yr I understand he will be on a 300cc Gas Gas, having succesfully passed his bike test (SBT?). Thanks to Big Dave.
February 21, 200719 yr but I'd place a wager on him winning in 2009. Are you trying to tempt me Mr Grieg......

February 22, 200719 yr 1. Jarvis. Not because I think he's best rider in the field this year, but because Malcolm knows every trick in the book...2. Dabill.

I think best first-timer is in the bag though and a top 10 finish entirely possible. Totally agree with you Andy, Jarvis without a doubt has the best back-up with Malcolm knowing every book thats ever been wrote with tricks in. Wiggy not gona have the experience to win this year but he sure gona learn quickly just look who the 2 old hands are he is riding in between, he's got Wayne Braybrook in front and Shirty behind, two that have borrowed some of Malcolm's books of tricks. Can't see any-one touching him for best first-timer.
February 22, 200719 yr There are about 20 people who more than capable of winning it's just a matter of who gets the breaks when it counts most and manages to keep their concentration throughout the week. Morris Shaun Thorpe Dan Jarvis Graham Pascuet Jordi Hemingway Ben Brown Michael Austermuhle Ian Colomer Marc Haslam Sam Dabill James Would be my top ten in no particular order. But maybe we will get a surprise. Whatever I'm sure it will be as cracking an event as ever and well worth going up to. Besides I get free digs & drink and use it as an excuse to see the folks at the same time.
