18:26 Hove - Proper Heiress @ SP

This very well-regarded tracker is set for a bright career competing in big competitions and, with a bit of luck in trap draws, could go close to winning this year's Olympic down at Hove over 515m.

A tight railer, he showed his desire to race close to the inside rail when diving inside at Nottingham during the Eclipse and he is the banker on the top-class card at Nevill Road on Saturday night, he races from trap one in his first-round heat.

He starts well and stays well, the demanding 515m trip is tailor-made for the Mark Wallis-trained star.

With this year's Sussex Cup champion Newinn Benni also lining up in the race, this well-drawn railer will be a backable price for punters and he can take control heading into the third bend before drawing clear.

18.59 Hove - Barntick Bear @ SP

Widely regarded as one of the fastest greyhounds in training, this Patrick Janssens-trained powerhouse contests outright favouritism for the £10,000 Olympic down at Hove and will prove tough to beat if he can enjoy a clear run.

An extremely strong tracker, his vulnerability is his lack of early speed and the possibility that rivals may slip away from him early on.

However, he has landed in a soft first-round qualifier on Saturday night - which crucially is a race lacking in much top-class early pace.

The Towcester track record-holder will relish the stiff 515m trip and huge back straight the Olympic hopefuls will have to negotiate.

He is expected feature at the business end of the competition and can kick off his campaign with victory in the opening round.

19:16 Hove - Alright Patricia @ SP

Talented wide runners are thin on the ground in this year's George Curtis/Ballyregan Bob Memorial at Hove and this Dave Lewis-trained stayer could go well at a big price.

The Oxford raider has avoided all the big guns in the opening round and should enjoy plenty of racing room out wide in the early stages.

A big eye-catcher in defeat over 650m at Oxford last time out, she is coming to hand nicely and will appreciate the step up in trip to 740m down at Hove.

A winner over eight bends, she will see out this trip no problem and can take up the running at around about the halfway stage before applying the pressure to her inferior rivals.
