Simon Stead's side found themselves 10-2 down with two races gone in Suffolk, but fought back impressively to claim another success.

“Especially against Wolves though and the boys they’ve got in their team; they’ve got some quick guys who love it at Sheffield, who always seem to score some points at Sheffield and they’ll be up for it we know that.
“They’re no slouches for sure but if we keep doing what we have been doing then I think we’ll just have too much for them.

“We know it’s just another meeting against Wolves, but there’s a Final place in the Cup that we want so we’re after another win.”
Tigers are hopeful that Jack Holder will be fit to take his place after crashing in Saturday’s Polish Grand Prix and missing Monday’s trip to Ipswich.
