Oxford Cheetahs' new No 1 Todd Wiltshire, who suffered badly from jetlag last week, hopes to kick-start his latest spell with the team when they travel to Peterborough for tonight's Elite League clash (7.45).

The Australian, who scored only two points in the 60-32 thrashing at Eastbourne on Friday, was so badly affected, that his planned practice was cancelled.

He went for a check-up at the John Radcliffe hospital where tests proved negative.

Wiltshire got some practice laps under his belt at Newport on Sunday and is raring to go in tonight's Sky Sports televised encounter.

Oxford will need a big turn-around in form if they are to bother the Panthers at their East of England showground.

Cheetahs' other new signing, Freddie Eriksson, was expecting his bikes to be delivered yesterday.

He was let down by the shipping company in time for the Eastbourne clash, where he had to ride Eric Andersson's second machine.

Skipper David Howe has a great chance to step up on his recent poor form by returning to the track where he learned his craft.

WIth two '60-plus' defeats on the road in the last two away meetings, things won't get any easier for the Cheetahs.

The Panthers, pre-season title favourites, turned Reading over on their own track last week, and are just hitting top form.

Heat leaders Hans Anderson, Ryan Sullivan and Jesper Jensen will be a formidable threat, as will former Oxford star Niels Kristian Iversen.

Peterborough: Anderson, Ravn, Jensen, Iversen, Sullivan, Hall, Ostergaard.

Oxford: Wiltshire, Watt, Skornicki, Howe, Tomicek, Andersson.
