Simply put, the fastest greyhound at Towcester right now. His 28.14-second track record set on May 16th was a jaw-dropping performance — won well from the blue box, showing electric early pace before drawing clear in the style of a top-class animal. The week before that he equalled the track record at 28.37s adjusted. Two runs, two wins, both at track-record pace. Trainer Kennedy has barely had to wind him up and the dog still smashed the clock. The concern for sceptics is the tiny sample size — just two career runs at Towcester — but what runs they were. From trap 2 he should be able to use his devastating speed to lead around the first bend, and once in front he has the stamina profile of a strong finisher who maintains his speed. In Derby quarter-final company, you need something special and this dog has it. The pace figures simply dwarf everything else in the race.
Unbeaten at Towcester with a perfect railer's draw — the most reliable dog in the field, even if not the fastest on the clock.
Eight from ten career record speaks volumes. Strongest closer in the race and won't stop trying — a genuine threat if there is any first-bend trouble.
Quickest bend speed in the field but fading stamina profile means he needs to dominate early or he gets swallowed late.
Honest performer with solid Towcester place form but lacks the raw pace to trouble the top two from a wide draw.
Talented closer with a quick personal best but trap 6 and slow bend speed mean he faces too much ground to make up against elite rivals.
Trap 2 leads the win-rate chart at 20.0% with T5 close behind at 16.7%. Bend R1 still delivers at 16.6% but the signal is less dominant than at OR grade. Speed R1 at 18.0% is the strongest single predictor at OR1 level here.
