Amongst other Northern clubs, Berwick will be represented by Kevin Doolan and Lewis Bridger, Steve Worrall of Newcastle is also confirmed, and there will be a trio of Workington riders – Claus Vissing, Thomas Jorgensen and Ty Proctor.
Organisers are also hoping to include a couple of Grand Prix men for the event which raises vital funds for riders suffering injuries when racing.

From the SGB/BSPA website: :::: EIGHT of the sport’s rising British Youth stars will give their support to the Ben Fund Bonanza at Glasgow on March 12.
250cc riders Leon Flint, Joe Thompson, Ryan Morris and Dan Thompson, along with Corban Pavitt, Sam McGurk, Harry McGurk and Luke Harrison from the 125cc class will compete in a series of races in addition to the main event at Ashfield.
British Youth chief Neil Vatcher said: “It’s all about track time and getting the kids on different tracks.
“We went to Glasgow last year for the first time for the British Youth Championship, and everyone could not speak highly enough of the place. We will be going back again later in the season which will be another occasion we will look forward to.
“Obviously riding at the Ben Fund will be in front of a big audience, and a chance to show the British public how much we’ve come on and how much there is to look forward to in years to come.”
