There is plenty of local interest in the Workington semi-final with three of the Monarchs team in action. Ross Brady should be a good bet for qualification after his score of 15 in the Spring Challenge. If Ross qualifies he will face a final on his former track Peterborough.
The decision to automatically seed five Elite League riders through to the final is bound to be controversial. Monarchs asset Barry Campbell is in the final ahead of highly rated riders such as Grant MacDonald, Paul Lee, Simon Stead, etc.
