Towcester Race 12 - The Star Sports & Orchestrate English Greyhound Derby 2026 R1 - Heat 26

ROMEO EMPIRE (2) has a strong record this trip with nine wins and 10 placings from 23 starts. In the money last time at Dunstall Park (40.67) in a OR3, finishing a 3 length second. Looks well placed and should feature. HARDY BUCKO (3) was unwanted in betting last start but proved too quick with an all-the-way win over 500m at Nottingham in a OR, scoring by 4.5 lengths (29.55). Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Expecting another bold showing. TODDYS STORM (4) has a strong winning strike-rate over this journey with three wins and a placing from six tries. Was out of placings last time (29.08) at Newcastle in a OR3, finishing fifth and beaten 4.5 lengths. Looks well placed here and among the chances. RADICAL STORY (5) is among the chances again if he runs up to the latest effort.

Handy type with a solid strike-rate. Winner two back then well fancied last time and could manage only second over 660m at Dunstall Park in 40.67. Excellent record from this trap, including five wins. Go well.

Good effort after taking an early lead to score in a OR by 4.5 len at Nottingham over 500m (29.55). The form from last run stacks up well. Hard to beat.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by half a length over 712m at Towcester in a handy 43.58, beating Essjay Sonia. Has hit winning form and is worth thought again.
