Hammers Co-Promoter Jon Cook commented

“We’re delighted with the pick this year and with Robert back in action following a successful return to grass track racing and only racing in the Elite League, it’s a significant step forward from last years Achilles heal.

Lewis is a track specialist and we are more than hopeful that he will return to racing and with the draft options it’s a risk we’re prepared to take, but we have a back up plan in place should he not.”
