Kevin Hutton’s greyhound Droopys Berries is favored to perform strongly in the Betway Standard 500m race at Towcester on Sunday, with the event broadcast live on the Premier Greyhound Racing service. The dog, known for powerful finishes, is expected to capitalize on a favorable inside draw to secure a good position at the turn and potentially overtake kennelmate Southfield Hugo, aiming for a one-two finish for the Hutton team.
Last week, Hutton’s kennel enjoyed significant success at Towcester, registering four winners during the regular Sunday card. Droopys Berries, who narrowly lost over the same course and distance in his previous outing, is positioned to bounce back with a solid performance based on his recent form.
Another notable contender at Towcester is Fabulous Aria, trained by Patrick Janssens, who will compete in the Betway Ladies 500 over 500m. Targeting the upcoming Yarmouth Derby, Fabulous Aria brings a strong record at Towcester and faces tough competition from Hutton-trained runners, including Signet Nayla, a British-bred winner from the centenary event at Dunstall Park, and the returning Resonate. Despite the challenge, Janssens’s charge is considered well-placed to seize an early advantage.
In the Betway Sprint, covering 270 meters, the spotlight is on Duffin Dermy, trained by Roy Peckham. Known for impressive performances at Hove and Romford, Duffin Dermy may benefit from an inside draw to outpace rival Yahoo Megan, who represents Janssens and is a prolific winner herself.
Other races at Towcester feature Rioia Wanda, prepared by Angie Kibble, in the Betway Maiden 460 over 460 meters, and Start The Engine, a consistent scorer from the Hutton kennel, in the Betway Standard 460, also run over 460 meters.
In addition to Towcester, recent greyhound racing results from tracks including Doncaster, Monmore, Newcastle, and Romford were noted, with detailed times and placements contributing to assessments ahead of upcoming fixtures.
