WILDCATS’ skipper Tom Brown believes a lack of confidence has affected his recent performances.

The Welsh ace suffered a broken ankle back in April and returned to the saddle at the start of last month.

Brown looked to have found top gear immediately when he racked up 33 points in three straight meetings, however, the 26-year-old is currently experiencing a dip in form and managed just two paid four in his last outing.

He is now looking to get back on track tomorrow night when Dorset rivals the Bournemouth Buccaneers visit the Wessex Raceway (7.15pm).

Weymouth’s captain said: “I just need to get my confidence back and once I do that I will be okay. One meeting is all it takes, hopefully it will be against Bournemouth.

“I’ve been struggling to ride recently but we discovered the chain was broken on the back end of my bike so hopefully I’ll have a good meeting tomorrow.

“We should beat them at home but you never know with the luck we’ve been having of late.

“They have just signed James Brundle and I think he dropped just two points against King’s Lynn last week. They have a strong top five but so have we, it depends how everyone performs on the day.”
