Towcester Race 9 - The Star Sports & Orchestrate English Greyhound Derby 2026 Round 3 - Heat 7

HACKNEY CORNER (5) chases a Towcester hat-trick after back-to-back 500m wins on May 2 and May 9, the latest by 0.69L, and looks the one to beat. BALLYMAC RALF (2) is a key chance off his last-start Towcester 500m win by 3.43L after a narrow 2nd the run prior. KRANKY DRAKE (6) also comes off a Towcester 500m win by 1.83L and maps as another danger. SOLE FOCUS (1) draws the red and was 2nd here over 500m on May 9, beaten 2.97L, which brings him into the mix from the inside.
