Hi Les, no relation as far as I know, unless you have family in Ashton-Under-Lyne?!

This year's Jockey is John Brooks, rabid Man U supporter which may give some clues to this year's banner...you'll have to be there on Saturday to find out!

My Hohner Pokerwork is due for an outing this year I reckon, it's a long walk from Delph when it's raining...
