The Border Roofing Monarchs expect to be at full strength for tonight's Premier League clash with Ipswich at Armadale.

Erik Riss, who rode in Germany in the first World Long Track Grand Prix on Thursday and just missed out on a final spot,was due to fly into Edinburgh on Thursday evening but did not arrive. However, the good news is that he was expected on a flight early on Friday afternoon.

Ipswich will have had the luxury of departing Suffolk this morning without the need to clean bikes following the rain off down there last night. Danny KIng is a fine spearhead for their team this year and although Cameron Heeps is out with a broken collar bone Gino Manzares returns to their team. We're hoping that we gain three league points this evening to inch us closer to the top of the table.

We are anticipating some rain at Armadale this afternoon but it is expected to clear by tea time. We've prepared the track in a manner to cope with this rain and we fully expect the meeting to go ahead.

We'll give weather updates on our Facebook and Twitter later.
