Kevin Wolbert will become the first Monarch to race in the Ben Fund Bonanza when he joins the all-star field at Scunthorpe on 12th March.

This is the third staging of the event, and Kevin had been keen to ride in it at Rye House last season, but was just too late in offering his services.

The meeting generally attracts a World class field and so far Kevin knows he will be up against Chris Harris, Krzysztof Kasprzak, Kenni Larsen, Mark Lemon, Ben Barker, Niels Kristian Iversen, Lee Richardson, Patrick Hougaard and Shane Parker with another ten names to be announced.

Kevin said ?I have read about this meeting and I know it is important and for a good cause,? he said. ?It will be a good start to the season for me.?
