Towcester Race 8

The Star Sports & Orchestrate English Greyhound Derby 2026 R1 - Heat 22

Prize Money: $1,181

LOW PROFILE (2) hit the ground running last time with a hot early split and never headed, leading throughout to win by 8 lengths (28.50) over 500m at Towcester. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of that last-start win. CHELMS CHARMER (3) shapes well for this after a dazzling last start success, getting around Great Yarmouth over 462m in 27.49. Harder here but expected to feature again. ALRIGHT TWINKLE (6) is progressing well and looks close to another win after hitting the frame last run (30.27) at Hove. Expecting another good run. GRANTSTOWN CROSS (5) can play a role in the finish without surprising.

Below best last start when he finished last in a OR on March 26 over 480m at Newcastle behind Ballymac Service beaten 9 lengths (29.26). Not keen on his chances.

Outstanding performance after taking an early lead to score in a OR by 8 len at Towcester over 500m (28.50). The form out of the last run measures up. Hard to beat.
