Like Danny, Shane too will start the season early having been named in the line up for the Ashley Jones Memorial Meeting at the Norfolk Arena on 8th March.

The meeting has a strong Australian flavour with those riding all being personal friends or old team mates of the young Aussie tragically killed last November in Australia.

A percentage of the proceeds from the meeting will go to Ashley's favourite charity - Guide Dogs for the Blind - with a percentage going to his family.

The full line up for the meeting should appear on the Official King's Lynn Website in due course but it is known to include Jason Crump, Craig Watson, Rory Schlein, Jason Lyons and Kevin Doolan amongst others.
