Redcar Bears will be looking to Gary Havelock and James Grieves to earn the points in the first leg of their KO Cup tie with Edinburgh on Thursday.

Havelock continues to impress at number one, maintaining an impressive 9.78 average from nine outings.

33-year-old Grieves tops the averages with 11.43 from just seven rides, six of which have been wins.

Meanwhile the Monarchs have brought in Czech rider Tomas Topinka to replace the injured Carl Stonehewer.

The second leg takes place in Scotland on Friday 30 May.
