It’s  Tuesday – the day when we – more often than not – sigh before going through the Nottingham results, but then cheer up when checking the Yarmouth tips. This is going to be a sub-standard Tuesday.

We should start – as is tradition – with Nottingham and Sophies Spark who carried three of the Nottingham five selections. He came out of the boxes fifth but then went backwards. Do you want to read on? Well the two other selections both finished second including Leos Adora who might have done better had she not had her card marked.

So Yarmouth! Yay? Hmm. . .

Things started promisingly enough when Lee Calcutt‘s £40 punt Millroad Glory won at 7-2 to give him a profit of £80 on the night. Not a sniff for Brett Hughes or Liam Aspin, though to be fair’s Brett’s selection Hourglass Curtis was tailed off with an obvious problem.

NEWCASTLE

We don’t do many four-way challenges but when local trainer Steve Anderson agreed to take on the existing trio of Mark Cranston and the Jimmy double act, the opportunity was too good to miss. (No pressure anyone – well its mainly on you Mark!)

Jimmy Fenwick:

Slaneyside Nevin (R2 T1) Ex Belle Vue Top grade, has had no luck in races so far, slow away dog in Trap 2 can give him plenty room to run down to bend can open his account here £50 win

Swift Zulu (R6 T6) Will be big price here but like make up of race Trap 5 shows great early place which should give Zulu plenty room at first bend he stays well in grade & slow starters in rest of field so Zulu could go straight second every chance then £50 win

Mark Cranston
Lissatouk Max (R3 T1) Although beaten by Final Mad last time out, the race is going to be ran much more to his liking with the middle pair blazing the trails. He should get a clear run against the rails and we know he finishes very strongly. £100 win
Jimmy Wright
Swift Zulu (R6 T1) The grader has given him chance tonight in a race without a recent line of winning form. £20 win
Alnwick Ian (R10 T3) One of our own pups. Young and improving he won half of his first eight races. £60 win
Alnwick Magic (R9 T6) Looks like he might lead up in this company and will be running on strong. £20 win.
Steve Anderson
Tell On Nellie (R1 T5) been running really well in this grade get clear run will pick these off £25 win
Lissatouk Max (R3 T1) ran well on first race back last week got trouble and stayed on well but tonight will take all £50 win
Ballyhoe Alpha (R5 T3) ran really well last week on first race should lead up and take some catching £25 win

A card full off new faces makes the selection a little bit more cautious with plenty ‘ifs and buts’ to go on . Three runners for the kennels and I can’t see us having a winner . So my selections are 

Sharpys Rocket (R1 T6) I was against him last week in the S2 race but this race is plotted up far him. I expect our bitch Mini Bee (T4) will blaze a trail head to lead along with Trade Woz (T3). Then at some point between bends 3/4 the red will join in and slow up the race leaving it all open for Sharpys Rocket to come over the top for the win £50  win

In the sixth race I will take a chance on Master Roo (R6 T4). The winner of five from eight career starts, he makes his debut at Sheffield tonight. His last A2 races suggest he may just have too much pace for these. Coney La Fingers (T6) a pup who caught the eye coney la fingers would rate the danger she did lots off running coming home . But I’ll take roo to make a winning debut £20 win.

Race 9, the best race of the night, is a cracking D1. It  looks a pure match races to me between white and stripes. Roxholme Blueboy (T6) has posted some flying trials and looks set to make a very nice dog for the Keightley kennel. But I’m going to take him on tonight on the basis of experience. Referendum (R9 T3) is a winner of seven from twelve at Sheffield and is very consistent from the boxes. I prefer him in trap 3 and will take him to beat Blueboy this week. But Blueboy will definitely be a dog to follow in coming months £30 win

Plenty of new faces amongst the training ranks and one in particular needs no introduction whatsoever. Hayley Keightley has been winning big prizes for many years with her famous “Roxholme” greyhounds and I’m hoping tonight is another good night for the team.

In the D1 sprint, the selection is Roxholme Blueboy (R9 T6). A greyhound making his debut tonight, he’s been very impressive on the clock in his trails, (15.88 and 15.96) and with the benefit of that trial experience under his belt, I’m hoping this youngster can make a winning start to his career for Hayley and the Glory Boys. £70 win.

Staying with the sprinters and Hayley Keightley, my selection in the D2 is Mr Roo (R3 T1). A greyhound who has had 8 runs, and in truth, hasn’t had too much luck in running so far. My eye is drawn to his recent 16.34 trial when he was behind the afore mentioned Roxholme Blueboy. This white and fawn dog I’m hoping can ping the lids on the inside and quickly put the race to bed. £30 win

Glynn Dobbs
Looking through Tuesday’s card I have a very strong fancy in the 7.09 with Tromora Brae (R4 T2). This bitch totally missed the kick last week but came home nicely staying on into 4th place beaten a length an a half. It seems to have a very good make up in this race. With the trap one being a slow starter, and if she gets on the bunny, she hopefully stays in front to win – £70 win.
My second selection goes in the 8.46 in Swift Model (R10 T6). The only wide runner in the race should get as nice lead into the race and would be difficult to pass if hitting the front. With not much early pace in the race hopefully she can steer clear of any inside trouble and go on to take the prize  £30 win
