Under-fire rider Lubos Tomicek is set to return for Oxford Cheetahs as they take on Swindon Robins at the Abbey Stadium tonight (7.45).

Tomicek missed Oxford's impressive performances against champions Coventry last week due to Czech commitments.

And he has since been blasted by Oxford promoter Aaron Lanney over his frequent absences.

However, he is due to line-up tonight as Cheetahs and Robins renew the sport's oldest rivalry.

It will be a tough test for Oxford as Swindon are formidable opponents around their own circuit.

In an early season challenge match at Blunsdon, the Robins demolished Cheetahs 61-28.

But since then Todd Wiltshire and Freddie Eriksson have bolstered Cheetahs line-up, and a closer match is expected this time around.

Swindon are in good form, having beaten Eastbourne by 14 points on Saturday.

Swindon will be without Renat Gafurov, who is riding in the Russian League, and Somerset's Stephan Katt deputises.

Oxford will once again look to comeback king Wiltshire to spearhead their challenge, but with Grand Prix riders Leigh Adams and Lee Richardson in opposition, it won't be easy for the former World No 3.

Swindon: Leigh Adams, Mads Korneliussen, Stephan Katt, Seb Ulamek, Lee Richardson, Adrian Miedzinski, Seb Alden.

Oxford: Todd Wiltshire, Davey Watt, Adam Skornicki, Freddie Eriksson, David Howe, Lubos Tomicek, Eric Andersson.
