    Overall ChampionshipCurrently 3 competitors on 700 points for 7 wins: Andrew Willoughby, Matthew Jenkins and Richard Price. Richard and Andrew both have an additional 8th win but Richard is leading based upon his performance against class records (at specific venues) which is the tie breaker. The only other competitors that could challenge for the overall championship are Chris Howard-Harris, Simon Rogers and Mike Sankey. With only class record bonus points available at the next round Wiscombe, all these contenders will be looking to have to break those records.However to challenge Richard at the top Mike needs to also win all remaining 3 rounds, Chris & Simon 2 out of 3 and Matthew needs another 100 score for a win.Ladies ChampionshipIt is still a 2 horse race between Lynn Gilbert (476.92) and Suzanne Gibson(473.81). Lynn having increased the gap by half a point at the Aintree event.Novice ChampionshipTom Price (497.32) after another strong performance at Aintree is the 2010 novice champion, as neither David Dowson (480.02) and Chris Bramall (467.65) can catch him now.Class 1Andrew Willoughby is the class 1 champion for 2010. Alastair Gibbins (695.38) looks to have done enough for runners up spot, 3rd place looks like a battle between Alan Johnson (681.80) and Paul Brown (678.83)Class 2Matthew Jenkins is the class 2 champion for 2010, to add to his 2 previous class 1 championships in 2006 and 2007. 2nd and 3rd place looks a 3 way fight between Graham Howard (690.18), Robert Spencer (688.66) and Alan Bowler (589. 45 from 6 events)Class 3Richard Price is the class 3 champion for 2010, to add to his 2 previous class 2 championships in 2006 and 2009. There is a 4 way battle for the runners up positions between Michael Calvert (696.22), Jeff Smith (695.37), Mark Gibson (693.72) and Matthew Willoughby (693.03). All but Michael gained points after Aintree and the pressure is on.Class 4This is still a battle between Chris Howard-Harris (699.94) and Mike Sankey (698.76) with Mike gaining nearly a point on Chris after winning at Aintree. Mike still needs to be looking at winning all 3 remaining events. Neither Paul Forster (686.11) or Stuart Miller (678.93) went to Aintree and the battle for 3rd continues, Stuart could still get that spot with a strong finish as he has some low scores to drop.Class 5Even though Simon Rogers (699.93) didn t attend Aintree he is now confirmed as the 2010 Class 5 Champion to make it a hat-trick of class 5 titles, due to Mark Durrant(694.41) failing to take the vital win he needed to keep his championship aspirations alive. The battle for 2nd and 3rd is between Mark, Adrian Williams (697.72) and possibly Rob Grigsby (692.87) who was the winner at Aintree.Class 6As no competitor will be able to complete 7 rounds this year there will be no Class 6 champion for 2010.

    Overall ChampionshipCurrently 3 competitors on 700 points for 7 wins: Andrew Willoughby, Matthew Jenkins and Richard Price. Andrew is leading on the countback to the 8th best score at the minute. Assuming at least one of these 3 gets an 8th win the only other competitors that could challenge for the overall championship are Chris Howard-Harris, Simon Rogers or Mike SankeyLadies ChampionshipIt looks a 2 horse race between Lynn Gilbert (474.56) and Suzanne Gibson(472.09). In Suzanne s favour is that she has some lower scores to drop, however one good score good change things.Novice ChampionshipTom Price really looks to have this wrapped up already with some very strong drives in his first year, with David Dowson (478.48) and Chris Bramall (463.70) both posting impressive scores in 2nd and 3rd.Class 1Andrew Willoughby is the class 1 champion for 2010 as even if Alistair Gibbins wins all the remaining races Andrew would still win on a better 8th score.Class 2Matthew Jenkins is the class 2 champion for 2010, to add to his 2 previous class 1 championships in 2006 and 2007. 2nd and 3rd place looks a 3 way fight between Graham Howard (687.25), Robert Spencer (685.60) and Alan Bowler (589. 45 from 6 events)Class 3Richard Price is the class 3 champion for 2010, to add to his 2 previous class 2 championships in 2006 and 2009. There is a 4 way battle for the runners up positions between Michael Calvert (696.22), Jeff Smith (694.70), Mark Gibson (692.75) and Matthew Willoughby (692.08)Class 4This is still a battle between Chris Howard-Harris (699.94) and Mike Sankey (697.81) but Mike really needs all 4 remaining events. Paul Forster (686.11) looks to have secured 3rd place but Stuart Miller (678.93) could still get that spot with a strong finish as he has some low scores to drop.Class 5In a management lock out Simon Rogers (699.93) is in a very strong position and looking likely to make it a hatrick of class 5 championships, Adrian Williams (697.72) cannot catch him however Mark Durrant (694.38) in theory with 4 wins out of 4 could pip him to the championship.Class 6Unless Graham Ford turns up to all the remaining events we will have no class 6 champion this year
