As the countdown continues to the rescheduled Caledonian Riders Championship in association with Linlithgow Tyres and Exhausts the full line-up can now be revealed.

A mixture of experience and youth has been put together in what looks like a wide open field.

Of course one of the main aims of the meeting is to promote the next wave of Scottish youngsters currently trying to make their way in the sport and with that in mind the 4 most prevalent of these at the moment all take their place in the line-up in the form of Kieran Douglas, Dale Lamb, Ryan MacDonald and Kev Whelan.

Towards the top end of the field we are sure to see some hotly contested heats as riders currently without a team place try to put themselves in the shop window for next year in the form of Coty Garcia and Jacob Bukhave.

Elsewhere a host of familiar Championship level names take their places with Workington’s James Sarjeant and Mason Campton alongside Glasgow’s Tom Perry.

Another strong contender will be home favourite Mitchell Davey, Davey will be looking for this to act as a confidence booster as he goes in search of heat wins around Armadale the rest of the way.

The field is rounded out by a pair of National League competitors in the form of Shelby Rutherford and Tom Wooley and it will be interesting to see how they fare at Armadale in such an eclectic field.

A special heat format has been devised to ensure competitive racing throughout and with face painting and a bouncy castle for the younger fans a fun night is instore for all.
