The Stellar Devils will have to dust themselves and go again as they head for Mildenhall in National League action on Sunday afternoon on the back of a heavy defeat at Leicester.

The Devils won't need to go to hard to go better than they did at Beaumont Park on Saturday night as they went down to a 40-point defeat with only 1 heat win to their name.

Today's task while by no means easier may well see a chance for a better outcome given that this is only Mildenhall's 2nd home match of the season.

The hosts also received the hammer blow that James Shanes' season is over after a grasstrack track on Saturday, we wish Shanes all the best in his recovery. R/R will be in operation with the rest of the Tigers due a ride.

Mildenhall do welcome back Jason Edwards to their ranks after he missed their visit to Belle Vue on Friday and Edwards will look to continue his push towards league number 1 status.

Matt Marson is a recent introduction well known to the Edinburgh/Armadale club after a short sprint with the Monarchs a few years ago.

Sam Bebee, and Jack Kingston complete the body of the team both very impressive at Armadale in their sides big victory earlier in the season while Josh Warren and Luke Muff will look to better the Millar brothers at the bottom end.

For the Devils if there is to be any chance of points then the top 3 of Lee Complin, Tom Woolley and Danny Phillips will all look for better than their 6- and 7-point returns at Leicester.

Elliott Kelly is of course a former league winning Mildenhall rider so he will know the best way round the West Row circuit while more is needed at the bottom end where Josh Embleton and the Millar brothers could only muster 1 point each on Saturday night.

Tapes-up are at 4pm with live updates available on the Devils website
