Last time out at Thruxton, Tom was unlucky to crash picking up a dislocated shoulder which was put back into place by the medical staff in the Thruxton medical centre after the race.

Since then Tom, who won the previous round, has been resting up and having some physio on the torn ligaments, but despite discomfort, he is adamant he will make it onto the grid at Cadwell.

He took the chance to take in some testing at the Lincolnshire Wolds circuit a few weeks ago and has found confidence in a good set-up on the Honda Racing Fireblade.

In last year’s two races, O’Halloran recorded two podium finishes with a second and third place.

He will be hoping to emulate this on Sunday to maintain his position in the top six with the end-of-season showdown looming where the top six riders go head to head in the race for the championship title.
