Towcester Race 12 - The Star Sports & Orchestrate English Greyhound Derby 2026 R1 - Heat 26

ROMEO EMPIRE (2) brings strong credentials, having won three of his last five and most recently finishing 2nd at Dunstall Park over 660m, beaten 3.25L. HARDY BUCKO (3) is in good form with two wins from his last five, including a last-start victory at Nottingham over 500m by 4.5L. RADICAL STORY (5) impressed with a last-start win at Towcester over 712m, while LENNIES TANK (6) has been consistent, placing in all of his last five runs and finishing 2nd at Shelbourne Park over 503m last time out. TODDYS STORM (4) is lightly raced but did win two starts back at Newcastle. Romeo Empire (2) looks the one to beat, with Hardy Bucko (3), Radical Story (5), and Lennies Tank (6) the main dangers.
