It might not have the cameras but eight high class £500 opens represents a pretty good impression of a ‘SKY Night’ at Monmore on Saturday writes Floyd Amphlett.

There are buckles, truckles (if there is such a thing) and f. . .(races with four prominent stars) dotted throughout the card and over all distances.

With the Ladbrokes Puppy Derby on the horizon, we see the return of Droopys Addition and Antigua Sky, up against two outstanding local youngsters, the exciting Hutton debutant Ballydoyle Blake and the recent 28.17 winner Deanridge Baloo.

The clash between Antigua Fire and Roxholme Poppy is worth its own billing. As does the Droopys Reel clash with Lambeth Way. How about Velvet Juliet taking on Roman Empire, up against the Swindon and Monmore track champions, and a dog chasing a third consecutive sub 38.00 run?

Buckle up
