OXFORD Gresham Cheetahs have snapped up track specialist Martin Dugard as guest for the injured Jason Crump.

The Eastbourne flier, who was in brilliant form here a couple of weeks ago, gives Cheetahs every chance to pick up the bonus point when they taken on King's Lynn in an Elite League speedway clash at the Stadium tonight (7.45).

Cheetahs went down narrowly 47-43 on their visit to Saddlebow Road, and following their epic battle in which they came late to pip the Swindon Robins in the final heat, will be going all out to notch up victory.

There should be some improvement from new signing Todd Wiltshire, while Steve Johnston and Paul Hurry should complement the immaculate Dugard.

The Knights also have a fair share of track specialists. Shane Parker hit 15 earlier in the season, and we know all about Tomas Topinka and Bo Brhel who did well here when riding for Oxford.

Fans will also get to see the debut at Oxford of Polish star Piotr Protasiewizc who nearly came to Cowley in the close season.

One rider missing will be Simon Wigg who crashed at 90mph at the weekend.

Oxford: Dugard, Johnston, Wiltshire, Hurry, Schofield, Staechmann.

King's Lynn: Parker, Brhel, Protasiewizc, A N Other, Howe, Topinka.
