Kyle Howarth suffered a dislocated shoulder in a track crash at the weekend which means Parrys International Wolves will use the rider replacement facility. This means his four programmed outings will be shared amongst team mates.

Promoter Chris Van Straaten said: "We need to win this meeting, it's important for us to get back winning at home.

"We need the backing of the fans tonight because the injury to Kyle has just placed a little added pressure on us.

"The good news is nothing broken for Kyle so hopefully his absence won't be long term and we'll see him back in action for us very soon."
