With only two outright winning favourites, plus 9-2, 6-1, 8-1 and 9-1 winners, there was much wound licking for punters on Friday.

Going into tonight’s card, only Part Blake carries an unanimous vote with heat nine possibly the most open with four different hounds selected.

We have a clear leader going into the fifth meeting of the competition with Mick Conneely managing to overcome some surprising results – for the rest of us – and still make a profit on the night.

Each selection is calculated to £1, but the * selections are considered as a £2 bet, the ** are £3 and the *** are worth £4.
