Towcester Bags Race 13 - The Star Sports & Orchestrate English Greyhound Derby 2026 R1 - Heat 13
THIS APPROACH (4) impressed when posting a superb 29.15 over 500m at Towcester. Hard to top on the time from last start. SOLE FOCUS (3) will take beating coming off a lightning 26.99 victory at Sunderland over 450m. Harder here but expected to measure up. BALLYMAC STUD (5) was strongly fancied last time but ran below expectations when fourth (18.07), beaten 8 lengths. Some good form is emerging from his last run. Cannot be taken lightly. SNAZZY BOLGER (2) can feature with the right run.

Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start by a head at Sunderland (26.99) beating Saleen Ri in a IV on April 17. Deserved winner last time after finishing in the money two on end prior to that. Can make it two on the trot.

Solid effort after taking an early lead to score in a OR by 5 len at Towcester over 500m (29.15). The form out of the last run measures up. Hard to beat.

In the money two back then disappointed when he finished 4th over 302m at Curraheen Park beaten 8 lengths (18.07) behind Droopys Apollo in a SS0 on April 11. Has ability and worth including.
