A NUMBER of top riders have already signed up for this year's Manx Telecom Post TT Races.

William Dunlop, Chris Palmer, Davy Morgan and Dan Sayle are among the early entries.

Ballymoney's William Dunlop achieved a hat-trick of victories at the races last year, bringing his tally of wins at the Post TT Races to four. He will compete this year with a brace of Honda two-stroke machines and the Wilson Craig 600 four-cylinder Honda.

William's arch rival in the two-stroke classes, Chris Palmer, who has seven victories at this meeting, will renew their friendly rivalry onboard his Mannin Collections 125 and 250 Hondas.

Dan Sayle, the current sidecar champion passenger, will be having an outing on his pair of lightweight Hondas and will be mixing it with William, Chris and the other two-stroke specialists entered.

Davy Morgan will have a 250 Honda at his disposal along with the 600 CSC Branson Yamaha to challenge his fellow Ulsterman William Dunlop and 2010 Senior Manx Grand Prix winner Si Fulton.
