Runner-by-runner guide for Saturday’s Greyhound Derby at Towcester

Kevin Hutton’s charge has chalked up her last four victories out of gate one or two. Not since a narrow success in the final of the Eclipse Stakes last November has the raider triumphed from gates 3-6.

A time of 28.79 in his third round heat gives him some hope, but the Coral News Team think it might just be too big an ask at Towcester on Saturday.

Bruisers Bullet – 5/1

Bruisers Bullet isn’t a regular in the winner’s enclosure, but he does trouble the places. Mark Wallis’ hopeful has finished runner-up or better on four of his last five runs around the course.

A third-place finish in the weaker heat last time out does little to inspire confidence, though. And it’s hard to see the three-year-old challenging here.

Whoops Jack – 6/1

There’s plenty to like about Whoops Jack. The lightly raced two-year-old sprung a surprise in his semi-final when coming home first at 6/1 ahead of fancied pair Dorotas Wildcat and Bruisers Bullet.

He showed a big improvement from his run in the heats. And having clocked a time of 29.04 around the Towcester track in mid-May, there’s reason to suggest he could trouble the places at enticing odds.

Bombers Bullet – 12/1

Bombers Bullet nudged inside the late 28s mark in the first heat but has failed to impress since. A difficult draw in the final for the two-year-old doesn’t help his cause.

Dorotas Vic – 25/1

Trainer Charlie Lister has won the Derby a record-breaking seven times but stands little hope with outsider Dorotas Vic. The two-year-old could only finish third in both his quarter and semi-finals. He has plenty to make up on the favourites if he wants to cause what would be a huge shock on Saturday.
