Although not a typical trappy Romford type, Patrick Janssens-trained youngster DEADLY DOUGHNUT still sits in a lofty position in the outright market for the Romford Puppy Cup.
The Oct 21' whelp is still only 9/4 for the £10,000 event, which resumes at the semi-final stage on Friday night and live on RPGTV.
He was comfortably beaten by now favourite Coolavanny Mercy (6/4), but caught the eye with huge middle speed and ran a big race in defeat after early crowding.
The semi-final draw has been kind and he can get back to winning ways from a favourable pitch on the inside, this powerful pup can make his move down the back and be in command by the third corner.
Deadly Doughnut @ SP
An exciting litter brother of Droopys Doughnut, who ran riot in the first round of the Romford Puppy Cup last week, DROOPYS CUSTARD can follow up with another win in his semi-final on Friday night.
He stepped right on that occasion from trap three, so this switch to trap four should pose no issue and Dave Mullins' charge can dominate rivals throughout once again.
The Romford handler is chasing a fourth consecutive Puppy Cup title and sends out a talented team again this year - spearheaded by this speedy short in the outright at 10/1.
Droopys Custard @ SP
There's £10,000 up for grabs on Sunday afternoon in the bet365 Empress Stakes final over 500m at Towcester and live on RPGTV.
Irish Oaks champion CRAFTY SHIVOO can do no wrong and is a worthy 4/5 favourite now in the care of 13-times champion trainer Mark Wallis.
Well drawn down the centre in trap three with stayer Minnie Bullet on her inside, the track should open up nicely for the jolly to assert into the corner and add another title to her CV.
Monmore raider Beatties Sparkle is the outsider at 50/1, but will be finishing off her race better than most, so forecast and tricast punters should have her on her radar and include.
Crafty Shivoo @ 4/5
7.36 Romford (Friday) - Deadly Doughnut @ SP
