Towcester Race 4 - The Star Sports & Orchestrate English Greyhound Derby 2026 R1 - Heat 18
GAYTIME CLYDE (2) tends to drift back and work into the race, finishing out of the placings two back before charging home into the minors latest when second (29.12) in a OR at Towcester last time. Top prospect. ZENITH JIMBOMBOM (3) is a talented dog who was a fast winner last time with a dominant 2 lengths win (28.95) at Towcester. Form at this distance is sound. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minor placings. Expected to measure up again. SOAPY SUDS (1) ran the fastest on the card last time scoring by 5 lengths (38.85) at Newcastle. Expecting another bold showing. JIMMYJIMMYJIMMY (4) was strongly fancied on the back of a win two starts ago but finished sixth last time (30.03) at Hove.

Won a IV in 38.85 over 640m at Newcastle at her last appearance ten weeks ago. Looks one of the better hopes in the race.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to be beaten just 2 lengths into second over 500m at Towcester. Can take this out on the back of that sound recent effort.

Flew the lids with a sizzling split and led throughout with a 2 length win over 500m at Towcester (28.95). Makes plenty of appeal on the back of the latest win.
