Agree Stephen, except the dates all a week earlier. Scrap first inland national, the federations can organise this weekend between themselves ie: our Fed could take the whole of East and Central Scotland no probs and I'm sure the feds who fly in the west and Solway could do the same but Gold Cup has to be Reims. If you study the first 10-20 in all the Reims races they're spread well over the sections. Also Ypres could incorporate a yearling race. Longest race wherever from would depend on hopping on with someone else as it wouldn't matter where its from, as the hardcore 600-700 mile guys would send anyway. Clermont/Beauvais for last OB race. Young Bird National Friday Harlow/Wansted Flats area.
