8:19 Romford

VERMITHOR (T1) - 1.5 Point win

Best odds of 11/10 available on Coral during publishing.

The Ashwells Greyhounds Retirement Home Standard open race at 8.19 looks at the mercy of well-drawn railer VERMITHOR, who lines up from T1. The lightly raced son of Burgess Bucks has a chance to lead round this evening, and if that happens, it’ll take a good one to back run him. As ever, at Romford over the four-bend 400-meter trip, it's all on the break.

Trap well and Vermithor can lead round and kick for home down the back straight. Tasty Turkish (T3) is inconsistent at the boxes but more than capable of running a big race if he brings his trapping boots this evening.

8:36 Romford

INCA LEWIE (T4) – 1 Point win

Best odds of 5/2 available during publishing.

At 8.36 over the six-bend 575-metre trip in the Future of Racing – Premier Greyhound Racing TV Stayers open race, INCA LEWIE appeals from T4. The Nathan Hunt-trained Monmore raider has four and six-bend form around his home track and has always looked like the type who would relish this 575-metre trip at the London Road circuit, Romford.

Tonight, on his competitive Romford debut, the May 2023 son of Grangeview Ten will be looking to lead round and make all. Droopys Rosie is a consistent course and distance performer and rates as the main danger from T3.

9:28 Romford

BUBBLY EVIE (T3) - 0.50 Point win

Best odds of 2/5 on Ladbrokes while publishing.

The third and final selection this evening is Romford debutant BUBBLY EVIE, who lines up from T4 in the Greyhounds Make Great Pets Maiden Stayers open race at 9.28 over the six-bend 575-metre trip. The lightly raced January 2024 pup has a hugely impressive Irish card and has moved well in four-bend trials at Romford in recent weeks.

Tonight, granted a clear run into the corner, she will prove very hard to beat. On The Payroll (T2) is another in the race with decent Irish form. Market support should be noted for this runner. Itsur Hero (T4) is a solid performer at Romford and could be the one to chase home the selection for those looking at forecast options in the race.
