Panthers are looking to show their full potential with visit of Plymouth Devils and Ben Barker to the Showground. Swales says losing first home meeting to Rye House was a blow, but won’t be repeated!

The TC Harrison Panthers slipped to an opening-night defeat at the hands of Rye House last week, but confidence has been boosted by Saturday’s impressive challenge match win at Elite League club Leicester.

And now they know they need to show their full potential at home, against a Plymouth team heavily modified from last season.

The Devils include a mixture of new and familiar faces, led by Great Britain international Ben Barker who has raced at the Showground for Coventry and Birmingham in recent years.

The visitors’ middle-order contains Sam Simota, who rode for Panthers at the start of the 2008 season, and Kyle Newman who had a spell as a doubling-up rider in 2012.

For Peterborough, Ryan Fisher faces his former club and reserves Joe Jacobs and Oliver Greenwood will look to continue their encouraging start to the season.

Co-boss Trevor Swales said: “Our gating let us down last Tuesday against Rye House but that was much-improved at Leicester.

“Losing the first home match was a big blow but we don’t intend to repeat it and we need to get a good home win on the board against Plymouth.”

PETERBOROUGH: Ryan Fisher, Lewis Blackbird, Lasse Bjerre, Ulrich Ostergaard, Ales Dryml, Joe Jacobs, Oliver Greenwood.

PLYMOUTH: Ben Barker, Roland Benko, Kyle Newman, Rasmus Jensen, Sam Simota, Ben Reade, Kalle Katajisto.
