Hove Bags Race 2 - Coral Finals Night Sprint
DEREKS CHAMP (4) finished in the money two back then was well fancied latest and led into the straight but ran over, finishing second (24.31) at Romford in a OR. Quick beginner. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Must come into calculations. GUR GUR GRANVILE (5) is progressing well and looks close to another win after hitting the frame last run (15.25) at Nottingham. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Expected to be in this for a long way. UNCLE ED (6) was well in the market last time but only managed fifth (24.84), beaten 10 lengths. Was in the money the start prior. Strong form has emerged from his last run. Can do much better this time. HARLEQUIN ERNIE (3) is not to be discarded.

Missed the placings at the final run of his last campaign, finishing sixth over 320m at Shelbourne Park on September 4. Others rate better.

Disappointed last start over 285m at this track when beaten 42 len (19.53) behind Move Over Eva on November 29. Has failed to show enough to come into contention.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish third over 277m at Central Park. Racing well enough to play a big role.

In the money at Romford at his last couple of starts, most recently finishing second over 400m. Won't find this any harder. Right in this.

Followed a minor placing at Nottingham two runs ago with a sound third, beaten 5 lengths, last start in a OR3 at Nottingham over 255m (15.25). Racing well and is the one they have to overcome.
