That looks like an excellent course. If Mrs. TSK decides to commit to the Trophy next year I hope it replaces the dismal nonsense that is Ispwich.
York was the venue today for the North of England regional champs. I hadn't intended to enter because I don't need to take more of a kicking than I do at league races. Alas Mrs TSK entered me before I could object so that's that. Turned up expecting to DFL but in the end had a better race than usual. Ground was nice and dry if a little soft in places and some tweaks to last year's course made it far more suited to me. Got into a good battle with one guy but when trying to make up ground I came off a hip badly and landed on my hip (not too badly). All I could do then was set the best pace I could and keep him honest. Not last by a reasonable amount.
If you're friendly with the Juniors and Seniors in your area, you might want to send out a warning. It seems the J and S northerners have been attending the Pidcock school of hurdling. Barely a foot down between the planks at the front of the race.
