At Henlow, Ballymac Jones (19:25) takes a drop in class and can be rewarded with victory, providing he copes with the track for the first time.
Eyes down for another three nights of top-class greyhound racing on RPGTV (Sky Channel 212) tonight, with Hove and Henlow kicking off proceedings with a bunch of open races - and The Lord is back with a host of good things.
Starting at Hove with the start of the Courage Olympic and six quality heats. The star turn, of course, is the superstar greyhound that is Ballymac Eske (21.06), fresh from his sensational 29.30 trial over C&D, surely the fastest ever trial run there has ever been at Hove.
Barrie Draper's dog, winner of the Puppy Classic at Nottingham, is not a betting proposition, certainly to punt. However, the layers will no doubt take him on, knowing that his one weakness if from the traps, and something like Go Go Sonic night get away. But he wins easily in a clean-run race.
The first heat at 19.46 sees Sawpit Sensation bid to follow up a weekend Irish victory and this strength can come through, while other heats can go to the speedy Bridge Honcho (20:02), Mutual Consent (20:18), unlucky Romford elimination Westmead Maldini (20.34) and well-drawn Rockburst Lenny (8:50).
However, one of the best bets on the card might prove to be Big Local (21:40) who showed great pace when crowded at Doncaster last time and might take advantage of the draw, with Mullingar Mer set to make the market here after last week's victory.
At Henlow, Ballymac Jones (19:25) takes a drop in class and can be rewarded with victory, providing he copes with Henlow first time. He can quickly grab the rails where he's most comfortable, and deny impressive last week scorer Tolerton Dasher.
Flaming Honey (19:39) is another likely short-shot to oblige. Stephen Fletcher's popular bitch produced the goods when we least expected her to last week, especially after failing to lead. But she was game off the back, but can dictate terms tonight for the spoils.
Henlow, who only returned to the screens last week after a summer break, is counting down to the Primus Telecom Derby and another clutch of trial stakes take place tonight, with Any Dak (20:58) taken to bounce back after defeat at Yarmouth.
Hazel Kemp's dog has previously shone over this C&D and has the draw to lead out wide, while another dog to blaze a trail looks set to be the classy Freedom Chief when he goes at 21:15.
Katie O'Flaherty's dog has searing early pace, runs Henlow well and would be an early contender for the event proper when it starts. Making the market tonight will be Bush Bandit, who impressed on debut and will be fancied by many to follow up. But two can get first run.
Westmead Melanie (22:03) doesn't win many these days but it was a better effort last time when just denied by Brave The Times, and she can continue the better run but outgunning her rivals over 550m.
On to tomorrow and Romford, continues its open-race frenzy with another 13-race bonanza just two days after a Sky Sports spectacular for the Champion Stakes final and two days before the start of the prestigious Puppy Cup.
The best bet might prove to be Uh Oh Chongo (22:26) who is fancied to make the most of his red-box berth to get first run on his rivals over 400m.
The final on the card is a maiden over 400m in which Alis Avenger (21:24) looks the dog with the most scope on his heat performance, with Dave Mullins's greyhound also coming up trumps with the inside draw.
Other bets which catch the eye are Knights Pride (19.30pm) in the opening two-bend dash after some solid runs in better class, while strong-running Mays Millhouse (22.40pm) can also take advantage of a slight drop in class and a plum draw in the closer.
