With brother Billys Bullet on the sidelines, Touch Tackle will attempt to consolidate his case as the top sx-bender in training when lining up in Monday’s Ladbrokes Summer Stayers Classic first round at Monmore.
In a cracking fourth heat, the Queen Mother Cup and Coral Regency winner meets Millwards Teddy, who of course declined to pass (Challenged&AwkRnIn) in the Hove decider. Dean Child’s dog has previous decent form over course and distance having won a £5,000 decider last summer and ran second to Airport Captain who returns to defend his title in the same qualifier.
Grand Prix runner-up Bubbly Gold returns to six bends in the opening heat and is opposed by two high class British breds: Regency finalist Swansalona Diva and Greyhound Stud Book Trophy winner Lowgate Onyx. Another Brit, Westmead Lola, will be looking to extend her amazing recent run in the final qualifier.
Ante post prices will be available from the sponsors from Saturday
