New race dirsctor, David Dougan said, "Firstly I would like to thank all those who have entered and apologise to those on the waiting list who were not able to get a race. The field filled much quicker than we at Ballymena Road Club - Chain Reaction anticipated, but with the quality of the field entered it promises to be a fierce race and definitely one to test the legs before the Tour of the North over Easter.
