Kikos' sister,Niki Royal, who in November won an Irish point to point, makes her debut under rules this afternoon at Newcastle. It will be very interesting to see how she performs on the Heavy ground in the north east,as our boy Kikos, her full brother, does not go on anything much softer than good! It looks as though Newbury will aim to restage its Totesport Gold Trophy meeting, so sadly abandoned last weekend,on Friday, so if they manage to escape the rain that is forecast today and tonight Ogee could well be returning there.
