Newcastle are still the outright favourites at 9-4 to land the BAGS Track Championship with two legs to go in the group stages.

The Geordies have so far scored the most points of any of the 20 teams taking part with 141 and look certain to be clear winners of the North Group. They still have to visit Belle Vue and Doncaster.

33-1 chances Kinsley, who have been something of a surprise package, will have high hopes of claiming a one of two places for runners-up in the final (venue to be decided) on December 23.

Towcester are 11-4 second favourites outright as they are long odds-on (2-5) to win the East Midlands group.

They are the only track to lead their group without having had their home leg. They have to visit Nottingham, who will also harbour hopes of a spot in the final, on November 16 before their home leg on December 4.

Monmore are 8-1 outright to win the Track Championship. They face more of a battle to win their group as they are only six points clear of Hall Green 10-1 (outright) with 33-1 chances Perry Barr punching above their weight on 122 points.

Sittingbourne, in contention for their group already with their home leg to come, are 8-1 shots. That group could see the demise of once fancied Hove.

Romford and Crayford, who have chances of grabbing one of the final places as a high scoring runner-up, are both 16-1 chances.
