The withdrawal of litter brother Coolavanny Rebel made life even simpler for guaranteed favourite Coolavanny Gravy (Droopys Scolari-Coolavanny Angie, Jul 13) in the £500 Sheffield Stadium 480 final.

Elaine Parker’s blue (4-6f), was led to the third bend by second favourite Ballymac Bobbyjo, and then completed a four timer when winning by two and three quarter lengths in 27.76 (+10).

Charlie Lister’s Tyrur Supermac (Tyrur Sugar Ray-Tyrur Isabel, Aug 12) was at least as impressive over the 500 metre course when completing his our four-win sequence.

The fastest dog over Belle Vue’s 470 metre course in 2015 was nine spots slower than the fastest Sheffield 500 run last year (by La Maqina) when beating Barricane Tiger in 28.57 (+10).

Over the 660 distance, Russ Warren Yorkshire Leger winner Swift Curie

found five 17 spots in a week with a photo win over Malls Pet in 39.07 (her best ever run over c&d is 38.96).

Earlier in the meeting, Charlie Lister’s Cloran Paddy was impressive beyond his 29.11 winning time in the 500 metre puppy open. Its two from two for the March ’14 son of Westmead Hawk.

Connor Hawk made it 5/12 in the 280 clocking a regulation, 16.09. While in the bitch’s race, Droopys Gigi (Westmead Hawk-Droopys Solange), probably the fourth highest ranked member of a litter than includes Millwards Teddy and Droopys Nidge, won for the 14th time in her 54 race career.
