Monarchs number 1 and Captain, 2022 Championship Riders Individual winner, top averaged rider in the Championship and 2015 Scottish Open Champion Sam Masters will aim to add his name to the Jack Young Memorial Trophy for a second time.
Glasgow Tigers heat leader, 2013 Scottish Open Champion, and two-time league winner with Monarchs Craig Cook will lead the charge from the west. Craig is the fastest ever rider around Armadale as he is the current track record holder and he has all of the credentials to add a second Scottish Open title to his collection.

One of the form men in British Speedway posting double figure scores everywhere he goes, Richard Lawson joins the line up. Richard has been a leading light in the march of Poole Pirates to the Championship Knock Out Cup and Play Off Finals.
