There will also be races for Super and Production Twins — Eunan McGlinchey the favourite here after two wins and a second at Mondello — Moto3, Pre-Injection, Lightweight Supersport, Classic and Cup competitors.
Action gets underway tomorrow from 9am with 10 practice sessions, followed by racing scheduled from 11am.
The action then moves across Strangford Lough for the Ards and North Down Borough Council supported Belfast and District Club traditional Easter Monday meeting at Kirkistown where the feature race will be for the Mayor’s Trophy during round two of the Ulster Superbike Championship.
