Ricky Wells is one of the top riders in Friday’s Harrisons’ star-studded Scottish Open at Armadale.
The New Zealand-born rider is, however, already thinking long term and he believes Monarchs have a solid team.
His aim is to make the play-offs with the West Lothian-based club and take it from there.
But first there is the Open (tapes-up 7.15pm) on Friday when Sam Masters, Monarchs’s captain, defends his title against a strong field.
Full line-up: Josh Grajczonek (Sheffield & Somerset), Josh Pickering (Edinburgh), Richard Lawson (Glasgow), Aaron Summers (Glasgow), Ludvig Lindgren (Newcastle), Erik Riss (Edinburgh & Leicester), Kevin Doolan (Berwick), Kyle Newman (Ipswich & Poole), Sam Masters (Edinburgh & Wolverhampton), Justin Sedgmen (Belle Vue), Max Clegg (Edinburgh & Wolverhampton), Ricky Wells (Edinburgh), Mark Riss (Edinburgh), Rory Schlein (Ipswich), Mitchell Davey (Edinburgh), Ulrich Ostergaard (Peterborough),
