Timeform Greyhound SmartPlays: Milldean Topaz is a strong fancy at Sunderland

Having made the breakthrough in A3 company three starts back, LIGHTFOOT JAMAL (Trap 1, 14:54 Newcastle) has lost little caste in defeat both starts in A2 class since, producing just about her best effort yet when runner-up four days ago. Her future may lie over further in due course, but she's very much the type to make further inroads over the standard four-bend trip and, with a pace burn-up anticipated up the middle, the daughter of Candlelight King can bide her time early and come home best of all on the rails.

Scratch runner CLONCUNNY DOMO (Trap 6, 15:09 Newcastle) is fancied to come out on top in this handicap over the 640-metre trip. A back-to-back winner in A3 class earlier this year, he arrives having run well on two of his last three starts over C&D, beaten in a slick time when runner-up latest. This doesn't rate the strongest of handicaps on paper and the son of Skywalker Farloe is fancied to play a lead role from the striped jacket.

MILLDEAN TOPAZ (Trap 2, 19:26 Sunderland) has never been one to make life easy for himself with inconsistency at the boxes, yet that hasn't halted him from making up into a top-grade performer at Sunderland, posting arguably a career-best display despite meeting with defeat seven days ago. An October 18' whelp, his make-up in the blue jacket looks a good one in this line-up and he can turn handy and announce his presence on proceedings from the three-quarter point.
