Brighton Belle kicks off on Saturday night

Strike It Skye will line up from trap one in heat six of the Coral Brighton Belle at Hove on Saturday - on a card kennelmate Mongys Wild makes his return to the track. 


The Mark Wallis pair are two of the notable names on a cracking card at the Sussex venue in which six heats of the bitches-only Brighton Belle, a Category One event, are supported by the Coral 500 Dogs Trophy Final and a batch of one-offs, including a 695m contest in which dual Ladbrokes Golden Jacket champion Mongys Wild also runs from the red-box. 


Strike It Skye aside, the Brighton Belle also sees recent bet365 Hunt Cup winner Resonate eye another major trophy, dropping down in distance when she goes for Kevin Hutton from trap six in heat five.


Recent Ladbrokes Puppy Derby runner-up Aayamza Shazza will go in heat two from trap four, the ageless Fabulous Sonique is a solid second string for Mark Wallis from trap three in heat four, while Raebella Bullet who was third in the final of the 2025 Premier Greyhound Racing Oaks goes from trap one in heat one for Belinda Green.
