GUEST riders are the order of the day for tonight's Elite League fixture at Arena=Essex when Lakeside Hammers will entertain Reading.
Hammers go into the match without Andreas Jonsson (injured shoulder) and Kris Kasprzak (competing in the Polish Pairs Championship).
Initially, team boss Jon Cook was looking to book in Belle Vue's Simon Stead as a guest for Kris but Stead was involved in a heat 4 crash at Swindon last night whilst competing for the Aces.
Cook has now booked in the in-form Eastbourne Australian Davey Watt for tonight. The Hammers will use rider replacement for Jonsson.
Chris Louis of Ipswich will be Racers' number one in place of the absent Greg Hancock, who has not ridden for the Berkshire club since June 11.
In addition they have booked in Adam Skornicki as a further racing at the same Polish meting as Kasprzak
