Oxford Cheetahs continue their push for a play-off spot when they take on Cleveland Bays at the Stadium tonight (7.30pm).

It will be the first time the clubs have met and Cheetahs will be out to mark the event with another victory on the back of their mauling of Sittingbourne on Sunday.

Although Oxford will again be lacking their big guns in Andrew Bargh (ankle) and Jordan Frampton, riding for his Premier League club Somerset, they should be able to make more inroads at the top of the table.

Danny Betson, in such good form at the moment, takes over the third heat-leader spot and together with Lee Smethills will provide a powerful duo in Heat 13.

Kyle Hughes moves up the No 2 spot.

There could be some hairy moments for the Bay's No 1 and former Oxford rider Mark Burrows.

It's his first appearance here since the controversial Oxford v Wimbledon clash in September 2005 when he was involved in a number of incidents.

Oxford snatched a 46-44 victory which went a long way to deciding the the championship.

Children under the age of 12 will be admitted free, if accompanied by a paying adult.

Oxford: Smethills, Hughes, rider- replacement (Frampton), Martin, Betson, Bates, Johnson.

Cleveland: Burrows, Burnett, rider-replacement (Blair), Hodgson, Johnson, Wallinger.
