COVENTRY Bees make a rapid return to Reading tonight at the start of a week which could put them into an even stronger position in their quest for a top-two finish.
The Buildbase Bees won at Smallmead as recently as August 1, and although tonight's meeting is a tougher one against full-strength opponents, it is a circuit where they have a terrific recent record.
With a trip to Lakeside coming up on Wednesday, Bees have the opportunity to increase their total of away wins to nine - a figure which their nearest rivals will struggle to match.
Reading were beaten 51-39 at home by Poole on Friday, but the Pirates took advantage of several absentees amongst the Racers, all of whom should be back tonight.
Matej Zagar, who has been struggling with a groin injury, and young Pole Krzysztof Buczkowski will both return, along with reserve Sam Simota who was racing in the European Championships at the weekend.

UK lags behind on cancer survival
ONDON (Reuters) - Cancer survival is improving in Europe but Britain and Denmark are lagging, with lower rates than countries that spend the same amount on health care, according to two new studies published on Tuesday.

The latest Eurocare studies -- which include data from 83 cancer registries in 23 countries -- also suggest that wide differences in survival rates among countries are narrowing.
"Increases in survival and decreases in geographic differences over time, which are mainly due to improvements in health-care services in countries with poor survival, might indicate better cancer care," Italian researcher Franco Berrino and colleagues wrote in The Lancet Oncology.
Survival for the four most common cancers -- colorectal, lung, breast and prostate -- and ovarian cancer was best in central Europe and most Nordic states. South Europe was in the middle, followed by Britain and Ireland and then eastern Europe.
The researchers, using data on 2.7 million cancer patients, said if all countries had the mean survival rate of 57 percent of Norway, Sweden and Finland, there would be about 150,000 -- or 12 percent -- fewer deaths in the five years after diagnosis.
They also mostly found, as expected, the more a country spent on health care, the better its survival rates, except for in Britain and Denmark.
In Britain, the five-year survival rate was about 42 percent for men and 52 percent for women, versus the European average of about 45 and 55, respectively.

UK 'lags behind' on cancer deaths
Cancer survival in the UK is still below the European average, despite recent improvements, a report says.
Survival rates in lung, breast, prostate and colorectal cancer were lower in the UK compared with everywhere except eastern Europe.
The Eurocare studies of 23 countries looked at the outcome of 2.7m new cases between 1995 and 1999.
Government cancer "tsar" Mike Richards said poor results in the UK had been due to delays spotting the disease.
The studies, published in the Lancet Oncology journal, are the largest international projects to compare the survival of patients from 11 different cancers.
