John Patterson not only has both his 2 birds in the result but it looks like they came together . Once again the two bird winners feature well in the overall Combine result .
This week the race is from Talbenny in Wales and already race marking has had to be put back a day as Saturday does not look good for a channel race .

John Patterson not only has both his 2 birds in the result but it looks like they came together . Once again the two bird winners feature well in the overall Combine result .
This week the race is from Talbenny in Wales and already race marking has had to be put back a day as Saturday does not look good for a channel race .
