Is he a cocky sod who needs bringing down a peg or two – or is he a god? Rob Crawford came off the bench to replace Darren Driver at Sheffield last Tuesday and found himself £450 in profit after two meetings. Last night was his third attempt at the challenge. The balance is now £650 in profit following a £100 @ 2-1 winner
In fact, he wasn’t even the biggest winner on the night. That honour went to Glynn Dobbs with a £225 profit who was already well in credit on the month. Which leaves. . . . .’the once mighty’ Carl Perry – £100.
I wonder if we could get him signed up to the GBGB’s new bond scheme?
Meanwhile at Newcastle – here is the good news. Geordie Jimmy Fenwick managed to pick a 10-11 chance to £20, meaning he ONLY lost £61.72. Jock Jimmy Wright -£100 and Steve Anderson -£100 will be going into the mincer. If it turns out that it was Ian Walton who graded the card, he’ll be going in too.

Sam Linley
Problem Solver (R7 T5) This dog is improving with every run round the track and looks to be too strong for this field with a clear run. He has beat T4 last week and should do the same again tonight and be in the winners enclosure £50 won
Stride On Flash (R11 T2) This bitch has been very unlucky in her return to racing but her early pace looks superior to her opponents tonight. Its as simple ‘as if she leads, she wins’ £40 win £10 double
George Stark
Tornaroy Bullet (R7 T4) I tipped Bullet last week, things never quite went his way as he wasn’t able to dictate off the front. This looks a more lead-able race for him tonight, a fast break and always led is what we are after! £50 win
Spitting Fire (R9 T4) a young bitch who looks to be going the right way! She performed well at a big price on debut and improved to get beat. A few of tonight’s opposition re-oppose tonight and I can see her improving again and taking this very average A6 affair! £50 win
s
Copeland Danny (R4 T1) Won similar race 2 weeks ago when beating half the field it’s in with today £40 win
Coaltown Lily (R3 T3) Looks a leader in race and hard to beat when on bunny in this grade £40 win, £20 double
YARMOUTH
Month to date: Dave Prentice +£151.9 – Nigel The Cash Machine Tanner +£150 – Brett ‘Big Balls’ Hughes +£56.67

Just the one selection tonight, I’m all in on Droopys Dazzler (R7 TR.3). I won’t be getting any awards for bravery as he’s sure to be short, though the 4-5 available does seem very fair. He should have the legs of Lenson Whelan early doors and have the rails to himself, get inside the five at the corner, lead out of the second bend and open up to score. £100 win
Dave Prentice
Nigel ‘Cash Machin e’ Tanner
Dave Carter’s Citizen Spy (R3 T4) should lead the inside up and make all £100 win.
