PREVIEW: PLYMOUTH v OXFORD (Cab Direct Champ)

OXFORD boss Peter Schroeck says his in-form team will travel to Plymouth tonight (Tuesday) targeting a third successive away win in the Cab Direct Championship.

The Cheetahs have already been successful at Birmingham and Berwick, and now face a Gladiators side who have been on a tough run of results.

But they will have to use rider replacement for Jordan Jenkins who is ruled out with a wrist injury.

Schroeck said: “Saturday (at Berwick) was another high point for the Cheetahs squad and our confidence and team spirit has really grown in recent weeks.

“But how riders tackle the Plymouth track could not be further from the style required in Berwick.

“Much like at Oxford, it’s a short run to the first turn. But here, as soon as you drop the clutch, you’re always turning which limits opportunities to get your wheels in line.

“We’ve performed well at Plymouth in the past, though, so we’re entering this meeting with a winning mentality knowing we’re capable of stretching our unbeaten run.”

PLYMOUTH: Kyle Howarth, Ben Morley, Ben Barker, Dan Gilkes, Richie Worrall, Jake Turner, Ben Trigger.
OXFORD: Sam Masters, Cameron Heeps, Lewis Kerr, Jordan Jenkins r/r, Scott Nicholls, Henry Atkins, Ryan Kinsley.
