  Edinburgh Monarchs

It's a few weeks since we last had a meeting that wasn't threatened by rain but that's what we've got this week with a continuing dry day but with a little bit of cloud forecast for the rest of the day.

The track was a bit wet after rain on Thursday evening but it is now in great condition ready for start time.

From the team originally announced Birmingham, who are on a northern tour with meetings at Berwick and Newcastle to follow over the weekend, have a couple of changes. Replacing rider replacement for the injured James Shanes, the Brummies have moved quickly to bring back Dane, Tobias Thomsen. Standing in at number 6 for the retired Jordan Jenkins is Mildenhall reserve Arran Butcher.

It will be a busy night all round in the stadium. Ed's Might Monarchs will be undertaking a track walk before the meeting and our Hospitality areas will be full with groups from Lothian DAF and Close Brothers present.

Gates open at 6.30pm for the start at 7.30pm and it is still possible to buy tickets online as well as paying at the gate.
