Towcester Bags Race 2 - The Star Sports & Orchestrate English Greyhound Derby 2026 Round 1 - Heat 2
NOT SO STEADY (5) turned in a fair 4th placed finish last time at Dunstall Park over 480m (28.78). Solid record here at the distance winning two races. Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Can bounce back. GETUP THE BOY (2) missed the frame last time at Limerick but just three runs back rocketed around 480m at Limerick in 28.03. Smart winner three back and looks a key chance on that form. AERO PEPINILLO (4) is having his first look at this course. Comes here after a last start 4th and beaten 7 lengths (28.97) at Monmore. Key runner who gets his chance to atone. BALLYMAC TIBET (6) is worth including.

Winner two starts back at Dunstall Park when scoring by 2.25 lengths in 27.99. Last start finished 4th in a OR1 on March 28 over 480m at Dunstall Park behind Sams Magic beaten 1.2 lengths (28.78). Better than that and worth following up.
