McGill said: “It’s always reassuring when it’s in your own hands.

“You don’t want to be looking over your shoulder and hoping for other results to go your way.” Edinburgh Monarchs’ speedway Championsh­ip opener at Scunthorpe Scorpions today has become a casualty of the weather.

Berwick Bandits’ trip to Newcastle Diamonds in the Tyne/Tweed Trophy has also been postponed. Triple world canoeing champion David Florence opened his season with a second place in yesterday’s C1 slalom at the British Selection Trials.

Fellow Scots Fiona Pennie, Bradley Forbes- Cryans and Eilidh Gibson also posted top-three finishes at Lee Valley. Paul di Resta is determined to win at Le Mans after announcing he will make his debut in the 24-hour race.

The 31- year- old Scot, a former Formula One star, will be partnered at Le Mans by co-drivers Phil Hanson and Felipe Albuquerqu­e in June.

Di Resta said: “It’s a race I’ve always looked at closely. Our task is to win it.”
