Towcester Bags Race 8

The Star Sports & Orchestrate English Greyhound Derby 2026 Quarter Final 2

Prize Money: $3,497

BALLYMAC DUFFLE (4) was a last start winner (28.75) from Box 1 at Towcester. Expected to be right there at the finish again. GAYTIME CLYDE (3) comes here off a lightning win at Towcester in 28.69 over 500m. Smart winner latest and looks a key chance on that form. SCOOBY THE LADY (2) has a strong record this track and trip with two wins and two placings from four starts. Comes off a (28.73) win last time, scoring by 0.8 lengths in a OR1 over 500m at Towcester. Can feature with the right run. SWIFT MAGNISON (6) is building a nice sequence of placings and will be thereabouts again.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at Towcester then finished third at his latest appearance in a OR1 at Towcester over 500m (29.06). Faces a stiffer test this time.

In sparkling form at the moment, having scored two on the trot. Continued winning form latest with a 28.73 success over 500m at Towcester. In top form and can make it three straight.

Solid effort after racing in the second half of the field and improving to score in a OR1 by 3 len at Towcester over 500m (28.69). Makes plenty of appeal. Go close again.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by a nose over 500m at Towcester in a handy 28.75, beating Slick Sentinel. In hot form and can take this out.

Started big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a sizzling early spilt before being grabbed late to finish second (28.98) at Towcester over 500m. Shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.

Overdue for a win recording three minors on end, the latest sizzling early but finishing in the minors again at Towcester, clocking 29.21. Close to the speed and boxed on well at his latest run. In the mix again.
