Timeform Greyhound SmartPlays: Thursday 27 September

SWIFT INAS (Trap 6, 17.06) endured something of a barren spell earlier this summer, yet in fairness boasts form at a higher level than this and having got her act together again of late, she is fancied to go well again. She remains in A5 having scored narrowly 6 days ago and with sound claims of using what looks an excellent make-up out wide, we're hopeful of a very big run.

DROOPYS HOPEFUL (Trap 3, 19.42) hasn't scored since July, yet 3 of his last 4 starts in A1 Company have been fairly solid and he is fancied to get back to winning ways. Tonight's Puppy contest is a race within his reach and one of his better breaks from the boxes can see him home in front.

COLOURED ROAD (Trap 6, 20.44) is only 1 -9 in handicaps at Newcastle, yet arrives here as good as ever judged on his 28.66 success in A2 grade on his penultimate start. Bad crowding hindered his claims upped to A1 Company latest but he arrives in a race lacking depth here, and a clear run can see the son of Oaks Road come out on top.
