NOTTINGHAM DIARY BY MARK PIERREPONT

The first of four trial stakes on the card see’s Colin Handford’s 2019 Angel Of The North finalist Easy On lining up in an intriguing affair against the likes of Alison Kelly-Pilgrim’s 2019 Trafalgar Cup finalist Deanridge Baloo and Samantha Atkinson’s recent All England Cup semi finalist Shady Diesel.

Pat Rosney’s Newinn Banger , a 2018 Henlow Puppy derby finalist lines up as does Peter Harnden’s highly promising bitch pup Salacres Pippy who is being sighted in competitive UK action for the first time after a host of impressive recent trials.  With James Gaskin’s lightly raced but open to any amount of improvement Kellsboro Sky in the field the race looks sure to provide plenty of clues for the future.

The second trial stakes contains the likes of 2019 Eclipse Finalist and winner of many opens around Colwick Park in Lynn Cook’s Plaza Lep , coming into the race off the back of a fastest of the session 2970 trial last Monday and he is taken on by Pat Rosney’s 2019 Puppy Classic semi finalist Bower Luke who appears for the first time since winning the All England Cup up at Newcastle recently.  With Chris Akers highly rated Gymstar Elusive in the field and Savva Roberts Deadly Cyclone who reached the semi final of the aforementioned All England Cup recently , it promises to be another interesting affair.

The third and fourth trial stakes might not contain the same competition proven greyhounds but there are a number of unexposed types who could improve at a rapid rate of knots.  The likes of Glenvale Brin for Ernie Skeech , a semi finalist in the 2019 Puppy Derby at Newcastle lines up in trial stake 3 whilst Matt Dartnall’s Mister Brentford who trialled well here last Monday lines up in trial stake 4.
