  Edinburgh Monarchs

The What the Fork Monarchs head to Redcar on Saturday evening with a handy lead but work still to do should they want to progress to the playoff semi finals.

A solid team performance excellently led as always by Sam and Josh meant an 18 point advantage was gained but having went down by the same amount in the cup a couple of weeks ago no chickens are being counted yet.

The Monarchs are boosted with the news that Kye Thomson is fit to ride after his heavy crash in the 1st leg. Lewi Kerr who came to grief in the same incident not as fortunate Berwick's Leon Flint stepping in for Kerr in this one.

Elsewhere there is one change for the Monarchs as Paco Castagna is on Italian championship duty, Scunthorpe's Adam Roynan who scored an excellent paid 12 on his last visit to Redcar and started the season as a Bear coming in.

Beyond that the Monarchs septet is as expected but there is one further change to Friday's lineup for the Bears with Erik Riss declaring himself ready to return at number 1.

So, the job is known for both and 37 points the first target for the Monarchs to extend the season and move onto the semi finals.

Tapes up at 5pm with live updates available on the Monarchs website and stream available on the British Speedway Network
