WOLVERHAMPTON No.1 Fredrik Lindgren is hoping to repeat one of his big wins from last year when he competes in Saturday’s Elite League Riders’ Championship at Swindon.Lindgren took the honours in 2010 at Peterborough and will start as one of the favourites for this weekend’s Blunsdon showpiece.Lindgren said: “It was really nice to win it, I felt good on the night and it was a great way to finish the season for me.“It was nice for the Wolverhampton supporters as well, to give them something. It’s a major competition and it felt good when I went over the line, I felt fast that night at Peterborough.”

SOMERSET are hopeful that high-scoring reserve Alex Davies will be fit to return for two matches in two days this week.Davies was involved in a freak accident at Glasgow last weekend when he suffered a chain failure when doing a practice start, the resultant fall ruling him out of the meeting before he had taken a ride.Rebels boss Steve Bishop said: “Obviously we would like to think that Alex will be OK to take his place in the side when make the trip to Redcar on Thursday, but at the time of speaking, it is just too early to say what the situation will be.“If it subsequently proves that Alex isn’t sufficiently recovered, then we will have to bring in another guest replacement.”
