It means after going two months without a single piece of joy, the Curtis Sport Brummies have now picked up two league wins in the space of a week following their first success at Leicester seven days previous.

The hosts provided just six race winners against the joint-league leaders on Monday night but managed five heat advantages, including big 5-1s in Heats 12 and 15, the latter of which saw the Aces’ Grand Prix star Dan Bewley handed a 15-metre handicap in the restart after touching the tapes in the initial attempt of decider.

It was Matej Zagar and Tobiasz Musielak who held their nerve as the heat-leader pair both contributed double figures. Rising Star Jason Edwards was also in paid double figures after scoring in each of his rides, on what was easily his finest display of the season, while reserve partner Jonas Jeppesen was in the thick of the action all night long as they outscored their Belle Vue counterparts 14-4.

Paco Castagna plugged away to score six and Keynan Rew managed two vital points from three outings, despite struggling with a foot injury.
