Towcester Bags Race 12 - The Star Sports & Orchestrate English Greyhound Derby 2026 R1 - Heat 12

SWIFT MAGNISON (6) recorded a smart win over 500m at Towcester in a lightning 28.80 last start. Rates a top chance again if runs up to latest. KRANKY DRAKE (5) looks long overdue for a win having finished in the minors at his last three runs, the latest when third (29.25) in a OR at Towcester. Hard to beat if anywhere near his best. EAGLES RESPECT (3) has a strong record this trip with 14 wins and 20 placings from 40 starts. In the money last time at Towcester (29.40) in a OR, finishing a 1.4 lengths third. Looks one of the chances. EPIC ACE (1) missed the frame latest (29.34) when sixth over 480m at Shelbourne Park in an AA0. Has already won two times from this trap.

Flew the lids with a sizzling early split but could manage only third (29.40) over 500m at Towcester. Has ability and can run well.
