“Not only are we full up but we’ve had to turn people away.”
He added: “Looking at the top end of the field no-one sticks out and I’m expecting it to be an open race.
“We have got several former winners running but they are from a few years back, including Dave Tune, and I can’t see any of them contesting the honours in the main race.”
