"I’m happy to take on Target Storm (8.47 Newcastle), who might attract some support after two solid recent runs. "

Darrelll Williams has another trio of bets for today's greyhound racing

Just the one Open race on the BAGS programme on Thursday, and that over hurdles, but old stager Tommy Bahama is worth a play in the 7.48 at Sittingbourne.

A veteran of over 100 starts, the inmate of Jason Foster's hurdling academy, showed the old legs are still more than capable when producing one of his best performances for some time to win on his latest start, albeit four weeks ago. A sharp sprint trial at Wimbledon suggests he can confirm that form with Stevensonsrocket, who was behind the selection in early August and has been off the card since. A price of [3.5] should be readily available.

I'll stay at Sittingbourne for Dalcash Tara (7.32) who has her first six bend race since returning from season. In good form in similar S1 events prior to her layoff, she will appreciate the step back up in trip and could prove the value against Brimardon Janet, who while in good form - winning a marathon Open at Romford last week - is no better than the selection on form from earlier in the year. I'd be hopeful of getting [4.5].

While there are no obvious short price lays on the cards, I'm happy to take on Target Storm (8.47 Newcastle), who might attract some support after two solid recent runs. However he's without a win in eight starts and with plenty of downgraded A1 performers in the field, he can be opposed at [4.0].
