Towcester Bags Race 8 - The Star Sports & Orchestrate English Greyhound Derby 2026 Round 1 - Heat 8
BOCKOS DIAMOND (6) last appeared when too good (29.83) over 503m at Shelbourne Park on September 6. Resumes after finishing sixth (29.83) at Shelbourne Park over 503m eight months ago. Goes very well here at the trip finding the frame in each of seven starts. Strike-rate solid and expected to feature in the finish. BOCKOS BUSTER (5) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (29.11) from Box 4 at Towcester. Boasts four wins from seven starts out of this box. Bold showing expected. GAV NIFICENT (2) beaten last start over the 400m at Romford but finished in the minors in a strong 24.24. Harder here but will be in this for a long way. DUNBOLG FORMULA (3) is a last start winner and can go on with it.

Solid effort after racing on the speed to score fresh from a spell in an A2 by 4 len at Waterford over 503m (29.93). Not likely to feature on this occasion.

Well supported last time and burnt early with a scorching sectional but had to settle for the minor money, finishing second (24.24) over 400m at Romford. Comes out of a hot form race. Worth following up.

Comes off a (29.30) win last time, scoring by a nose in a OR over 500m at Towcester. Boasts good form here at the journey with five wins and seven minor placings from 15 tries. With even luck and a clean start he should be thereabouts.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to be beaten just 0.8 lengths into third over 500m at Towcester. Can take this out on the back of that sound recent effort.

Finished off last campaign with a sixth in an AA0 over 503m at Shelbourne Park eight months ago. Usually fires fresh, having never missed the top three from four starts. Looks a key chance fresh.
