Timeform Greyhound SmartPlays: Dream Skylar can fly home

Acomb Irene (Trap 5) - 19.26 Sheffield

The third of the Bresbet Steel City Cup semi-finals features at 19.26 and despite meeting with defeat last week, ACOMB IRENE (Trap 5) is fancied to come out on top this evening. Having developed into a very classy operator in recent months, the Kinsley raider didn't trap at her very best latest. However, proven capable of much better, the daughter of Hiya Butt has a good record when operating in the orange vest and with one of her slick exits, she's fancied to make a bold bid to come out on top.

Dream Skylar (Trap 4) - 20.46 Sheffield

Boasting a steadily progressive profile, DREAM SKYLAR (Trap 4, 20.46) had little go right on her latest outing returned to open company, always on the backfoot having been crowded on the run up. Remaining one to be positive about, this evening's maiden arguably lacks the same depth and the daughter of Dorotas Wildcat can trap best from the black jacket and prove tough to peg back.

Lightfoot Storm (Trap 3) - 21.16 Sheffield

LIGHTFOOT STORM (Trap 3, 21.16) arrives very lightly raced for a November 21' whelp and confirmed himself a hound of above average merit when bolting up in A4 company in September, soon on the front foot and improving markedly on the clock in the process. Hit with a two-grade hike on the back of that, his subsequent trial exploits suggest he ought to prove capable of more than holding his own and, easily one of the least exposed in this field, he's fancied to make his presence felt once more.
