Our first away Premier League match of the season takes place at Scunthorpe on Monday afternoon and, in what has become a traditional staging day at the beginning of May, we also seem to have sunshine lined up as well and that seems to have become the norm also.

Craig Cook and Justin Sedgmen have both flown back from their unsuccessful Grand prix qualifiers over the weekend to line up at the Eddie Wright Raceway but Erik Riss will still be missing with his broken collar bone. Rider replacement will give extra rides to Kevin Wolbert and the reserve Rob Branford and Max Clegg.

The Scorpions expect to send out the same team as Friday with David Howe missing. Rider replacement is available to any rider except Josh Auty.

The Border Roofing Monarchs generally do well at Scunthorpe but with Erik Riss missing on a track that could well have suited his style the task will be all the more difficult on this occasion. Our big 4 will need to score big points.
