JT/Fox Oxford Cheetahs, boosted by a fighting 45-45 draw at Poole on Wednesdsay, take on the mighty championship-chasing King's Lynn in an Elite League encounter at the Stadium tonight (7.30), writes JOHN GAISFORD.

The Knights bring some of the world's top stars as they try and catch leaders Eastbourne.

They come no bigger than former Cheetah Jason Crump and his fellow countryman Leigh Adams, who tops the national averages.

The Knights are serious about their challenge, so much so, that they have signed legendary American Jon 'Cowboy' Cook, who will never forget his last heat here in the mid-eighties, when Cheetahs snatched the Speedway Star KO Cup from under the noses of Ipswich.

Oxford will be at full strength which means that Mark Lemon returns.
