Sheffield Bags Race 1 - Sunday 26th July 2026

GROUCHOS COSSIE (4) produced a modest effort most recently when fifth at Newcastle over 480m behind Deerjet Rocket (28.89) in a OR1. Was in the money prior to that. The form out of last race has been strong. Can bounce back. GROUCHOS GREGOR (3) is worth forgiving for his last effort when fifth (29.60) at this track over 500m. Has a very good strike-rate from this draw, with five wins from nine starts. Should be thereabouts. BALLYMAC BUDDY (1) is better than last start when sixth (29.27) in a OR1 at Newcastle over 480m. Form here at the trip excellent including three wins. Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Can do much better this time. EPIC COMMAND (5) cannot be overlooked following a recent narrow defeat after leading.
