Coral Gold Collar form and ante-post betting

It's 5/1 the field for another hugely competitive four-bend Category One. On Sunday, Bikini Bullet set a new quickest of the year over this 500m distance to set the Coral Coronation Cup winner up perfectly for a tilt at glory. 


Kent Plate winner and Kent Derby finalist Scooby The Lady as well as 2025 Greyhound Derby winner Droopys Plunge provide a strong first line of opposition , the pair both bringing serious form to the table. 


Sunday was also the day that Consolidation made his English debut for Belinda Green, a striking win but there is a huge deal more on his plate being pitched into this competition on start two. 


The fact that the likes of dual Cat One finalist Scooby Mustang, East Anglian Derby finalist Droopys Buck, Sussex Cup finalists Copney Queen and Behemoth are available at 12/1, 16/1, 25/1 and 50/1 respectively shows that it is a deep competition in prospect.

George Curtis & Ballyregan Bob form and ante-post betting

A vacant trap in each of the six heats of the 740m contest but there is still a decent field in action, despite the loss of a couple of the star stayers to injury. 


Vhagar heads the market, arriving off the back of four wins elsewhere but without a look at this track since exiting the 2025 Coral Regency in a semi-final. 


Zenith Boom will make the long journey down from Jimmy Fenwick's kennel with staying races a rare commodity for him to find at present. He has made a big impression in the contests that he has had over six bends.


Perhaps the best local hope is Candolim Typhoon who has looked exceptional over both the 695m distance and this 740m trip here in recent weeks. There are a whole host of other players who will fancy their chances in a competition that looks more open than 2/1 the field would suggest. 


2/1 Vhagar

5/1 Zenith Boom

6/1 Candolim Typhoon 

8/1 Teddie, Underground Navy

12/1 Bella Bullet, Radical Story

14/1 Bowmers Buddy

16/1 Malcolm Bosh

20/1 Ballymac Madgie, Bombay Nutty, Drombeg Flash

25/1 Romeo Arran

40/1 Bubbly Babs, Newinn Cloud, 

50/1 Broncos Bullet, Bubbly Amber, Droopys Rhona

66/1 Razldazl Paloma, Swift Jarvis

80/1 Minstrels Six

100/1 Azzas Angel, Frankton Ivy, Royal Hotshot, Vegan Warrior, Zenith Ottoman

150/1 Coffee Time Guys

200/1 Givemethemoney, Homestead Anna, Swift Megan
