Glasgow v Rye House 22nd August
Posted 20/08/04

There will be silver at Ashfield on Sunday but unfortunately it will only be of the Len type as Rye House are the visitors.

Like Glasgow, Rye have failed to live up to high expectations this season although they still have a useful looking side.

The top two are Neath and Werner and although Neath is a good rider I would expect Parker and Stancl to comfortbaly have the edge over this pair.

Steve Masters and Davey Watt are both going to be danger men to watch out for. Both are capable of decent things at Ashfield and they will probably score relatively well. Scott Robson is another of those 'enigma' riders who sometimes do it, sometimes don't.

Young Tommy Allen at reserve is eratic. He has been highly rated by some whilst castigated by others for lack of control. No doubt he suffers from comparison to his brother all the time and you would expect his time at the tight Rye House circuit will have improved his close control. I doubt if he will threaten Eric but will probably be comfortably ahead of Cockle. Boxall is of similar age and just a little more experience than young James so the heat 2 battle between them could be interesting.

This has the makings of a relatively close meeting but due to the strength of the top two for Glasgow a home win of around 6-8 points should be on the cards with hopefully some good racing on the way.
