NICK Morris and Troy Batchelor will go for glory for Swindon Robins at the SGB Premiership Riders' Individual Championship next month.

The annual meeting, which features the top two riders from each Premiership club, will take place at Poole Pirates’ Wimborne Road home on Wednesday, May 9.

The major event returns to Dorset for the first time since 2006 when former world champion Jason Crump took the crown.

And the sport’s current champion man is also involved on this occasion as Somerset Rebels’ former Swindon rider Jason Doyle will be bidding to win the event for a second time, having triumphed in 2015 at Leicester when he was representing the Lions.

Robins ace Batchelor is the only other former winner in the 16-man field, having won the event in 2014 at King’s Lynn.

British Speedway chairman Keith Chapman said: “The competition for the title is sure to be fierce.

“It's a great line-up and I'm sure Wimborne Road will be packed. We are delighted to have this event earlier in the season with everyone very keen to get racing.

“With two representatives from every club it's very hard to predict a winner and I'm sure the fans are in for a treat.”

LINE-UP (not in draw order): Craig Cook, Max Fricke (Belle Vue), Niels-Kristian Iversen, Robert Lambert (King’s Lynn), Hans Andersen, Danny King (Leicester), Brady Kurtz, Josh Grajczonek (Poole), Chris Harris, Scott Nicholls (Rye House), Jason Doyle, Charles Wright (Somerset), Nick Morris, Troy Batchelor (Swindon), Jacob Thorssell, Sam Masters (Wolverhampton).
