LEICESTER keep up their push for National League leadership ahead of the play-offs when they host Mildenhall tonight (Saturday).
Victory will take the Lion Cubs back to the top of the table with two matches remaining, and with the chance to secure that position in Tuesday’s home clash with the Isle of Wight.
Former Mildenhall rider David Wallinger makes a guest appearance for the Lion Cubs in place of Dan Thompson, who is still out with a wrist injury, whilst rider-replacement again operates for Luke Ruddick.
Leicester co-promoter Neil Machin said: “It was solid scoring from the team on Tuesday (against Cradley) on a superb racetrack, and hopefully the medics will give Dan clearance to race sooner rather than later.
“Mildenhall are one of the cornerstone clubs of the National League and (manager) Malcolm Vasey knows more about the league and its history than anyone. He will extract every point possible from his team tonight.”
The Fen Tigers, who are in the thick of the scrap for fourth place, have Jack Smith standing in for Jason Edwards, who is racing for Championship club Eastbourne, whilst Charlie Brooks is also ruled out with wrist damage.
LEICESTER: Ellis Perks, David Wallinger, Joe Thompson, Luke Ruddick R/R, Danyon Hume, Josh Embleton, Ryan Terry-Daley. MILDENHALL: Ryan Kinsley, Matt Marson, Jack Smith, Charlie Brooks R/R, Henry Atkins, Arran Butcher, Elliot Kelly.
