[u]Henlow Puppy Derby [/u] [i]T1 Coolavanny Bert [/i] One of the best puppies in the country and will be extremely hard to beat after wide-margin wins in heat and semi-final; just 11 spots off the track-record in the latter. Yet to finish out of the first two (six wins and two seconds) including a 3-3 record over CD. [i]T2 Fifis Legend [/i] Could hardly have been more impressive when clocking the fastest time in the heats, but failed to trap so effectively in the semi-final. Would need to break ahead of trap one to hold any realistic chances of giving him a race. [i]T3 Droopys Stevie [/i] One of the more experienced finalists and has shown improvement in each of his four starts here, helped by his trapping having improved during this competition. Readily put in his place by...

[b][i]On the eve of the launch of a brand new greyhound racing programme backed by Betfair, Racing Post Greyhound TV presenter Darrell Williams, looks forward to exciting times ahead for dog fan[/i][/b]s. I've lost count of the number of people who've asked me over the past couple of years why there's not more greyhound racing on TV and whether a greyhound channel - like the old Channel 425 - would ever come back. Well now, after what seems an eternity in the waiting, Racing Post Greyhound TV hits the screens this Friday evening on Sky Channel 231 and Freesat Channel 402. Betfair, in partnership with the leading bookmakers, and under the Racing Post umbrella have teamed up to bring live greyhound racing back to your living room every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night. Each night...

[b][u]Yorkshire St Leger 21:45 Doncaster[/u] [/b] [i]T1 Droopys Arshavin [/i]Veteran campaigner for whom this is likely to be his swansong. Has won 11/19 over six bends this year at Belle Vue. Only unbeaten finalist and has been in the first two in nine of his last ten starts. Runner-up to Lonely Boy in Great North Run at Newcastle, but has run this track better than his rival and can reverse form. [i]T2 Native Spree [/i]Strong running litter-brother of ante-post fancy Fleeting Image (eliminated in semi-finals). Got up to force a dead-heat with Lonely Boy in the semis and rates the strongest dog in the field. Has won four of his last seven races but needs further improvement to win this. [i]T3 Lonely Boy [/i]Finished in front of three of these rivals when winning the Great North...

[i][b]All England Cup Final 21:45[/b] [/i] [b]T1 Mill Bling Bling[/b] Impressive all the way win in semi-final after disappointing in heats when maybe distracted. Unsure if trap one is ideal, but may prove to be speed of the speed. Unbeaten win in Steel City Cup in August. Still improving; strong chance. [b]T2 Tudor Prince [/b]Performed heroics to win semi-final and fact he doesn't have to lead to win could be vital here, but very fast on bunny as he proved in heats. 5/5 record in trap 2 a plus especially as other principals not ideally drawn. Price makes him the pick. [b]T3 Longwood Fantasy [/b]Game effort in semi-final defeat to Blue Artisian and can reverse form with draws swapped round. Runner-up to Taylors Sky in Monmore Gold Cup. One win in 9 worrying, but big odds offer...

[b][u]The Coral Champion Stakes final line-up, Romford, 21:45[/u][/b] [i]Trap One: Westmead Maldini (4.3)[/i] Owned by Bob Morton, the man behind plans to return greyhound racing to Walthamstow, and trained by Nick 'Mr Westmead' Savva, Westmead Maldini was a star puppy who is fast becoming a star again over a distance. Knocked out of the Irish Derby on the toss of a coin after finishing third in his second round heat, the St Leger is a long-term target for this half-brother of the mighty Westmead Hawk. Enjoying every metre of this 575m, he is railing well into contention past halfway, so the draw is a good one. [i]Trap Two: Emperor Leon (8.0)[/i] An ex-Nottingham-based runner with Susan Corrigan, who joined Seamus Cahill's kennels earlier this year. Go back through the formbook and...
