Timeform Greyhound SmartPlays: Friday 21 September

It's more than a little surprising that MOANING COCKTAIL (T4) has failed to taste success upon his transfer to Crayford, and his attitude may be called into question having spurned what looked a great opening when he went clear here on Saturday. That niggling worry aside, he clearly boasts the ability to win the 13.57 if applying himself.

The opening race of Hove's afternoon card at 14.12 provides bet number one, with SID'S LITTLE BOY (T2) fancied to record victory number three of his embryonic career. The selection endured a luckless run in A8 company last time so is forgiven that, and it's a little surprising that he is returned to this class given he was a decisive winner of an A9 just nine days ago.

SEASONS JORDADE (T3) clearly isn't the force of old (A4 class at his peak) but the level he has slipped to nowadays gives him plenty of margin for error, and the feeling is that when he gets it right at the boxes he will win an A9 at Hove by a long way. Let's hope it is the 16.48 contest at the Sussex track.
