PREVIEW: PLYMOUTH v REDCAR (CAB DIRECT CHAMP)

PLYMOUTH will face two of their former riders when they host Redcar in the Cab Direct Championship tonight (Tuesday).

Both Dan Gilkes and youngster Ben Trigger rode for the Gladiators last season, and they now return to the Coliseum for the Bears, who operate rider replacement for the injured Danny King.

The home side have two absences with Troy Batchelor stepping in at No.1 to guest for Nico Covatti, who has been suspended by the SCB for his non-appearance, whilst r/r covers for the unwell Dan Thompson.

Trigger said: “It’s a match I have been looking forward to. They have a new track shape there and it should be a good meeting.

“I’m hoping we can all get a good set-up pretty quickly and build up a big lead to bring back to the ECCO Arena for the aggregate point.

“I’ve got high expectations of myself around Plymouth and I am excited to show them what they are missing!”

PLYMOUTH: Troy Batchelor, Alfie Bowtell, Dan Thompson r/r, Kyle Newman, Ben Barker, JOe Thompson, Jacob Hook.
REDCAR: Charles Wright, Connor Bailey, Dan Gilkes, Jason Edwards, Danny King r/r, Ben Trigger, Jake Mulford, Kai Ward (no.8).
