Skipper Paul Starke makes his first appearance of the season for Cradley who are at full strength for the meeting.

Boss Will Pottinger said: "It will be nice to have Starkey back with us after missing last week against Coventry.

"I've already said we need to get a useful lead from this meeting to take to King's Lynn for the return.

"They have some good riders in their team, a couple with a lot of experience so we will need to be on our toes."
