Two of Monmore’s reigning tracks champions attempt to defend their titles in a supporting card to the Ladbrokes Puppy Derby.

Delboys Cabra misses the sprint competition with the in-form Tommys Control one of the leading fancies to take the top prize next weekend.

There is a defending champ in the 630 in Chris Jones’ Bit View Yeats. However, he is unlikely to start at such shorts odds as when he did when he bullied the opposition two months ago.
