Graham Holland has six ‘definites’, one ‘possible’ but is leaving himself as much time as possible to finalise his squad for the 2020 Star Sports Greyhound Derby at Nottingham.

He said: “At the moment, we are looking at Lenson Bocko, Newinn Session, Ballydoyle Valor, Black Parachure, Ballyhimikin Jet, and Feudal Spirit as definites. The owners of Wolfe are still undecided, though there may still be others.”

A number of the kennel stars will be swerving Nottingham in favour of the forthcoming Irish Laurels at Curraheen Park. So far, the only definite is Riverside Leo.
