Is the feeling that Troy Batchelor will be back at number 1  ?  if he is his average is 8.46 so that would leave 4.3 for the last rider so could be an assessed 4 rider.

No surprise to see Alfie and Joe back. Be interesting to see if the plan is to start with Alfie at reserve. If I've read it right, with reductions they come in on 5.07 & 5.63 respectively. Assuming Barker will be named in due course (believe he'd be 5.87). I make that 16.57, leaving a healthy 23.43 and would be a solid, if not spectacular engine room. Will be interesting if that is the 3-4-5 as you suggest. Barker can't be anything higher than the 3rd heat leader if Plymouth are to be more competitive this season.  Not convinced by Covatti on his starting average but let's wait and see.

Workingtons gain Berwick loss hope he scores a maximum at Berwick to shut up all the Berwick fans who have bagged him out 

If it was Howarth instead of Kerr. With 4.81 left maybe that leaves a door open for Hagon to return on a 4.73?    I would welcome Sam back with open arms. Yes he tailed off hugely last year but so much potential in him and started last year on fire. He’s also in Australia over winter which will help him no doubt 

So they are not sure why I thought they were league 1 for some reason. So yes would be a 6.00.

Hopefully he does go well for Workington. Just saying you shouldn't be dropping your average by just under a point when the league averages strength dropped by 2 points this past season.
