Thursday Greyhound Tips: Hypershock has a go in Hove

1 pt 18:42 Hove – Chisem Izzie (T6) @ SP

Three from the Nevill Road circuit Hove this evening on a competitive all grade card. At 18:42 in the A9 graded race over the standard four-bend 500-metre trip, look out for well-drawn wide seed CHISEM IZZIE from T6. The Ricky Holloway-trained July 2024 daughter of Scaglietti bolted up on June 28, recording an 11-length success in A10 company clocking 30.49 following a smart 3.63 sectional.

Next time out, following a double upgrade in A8 company, Izzie attempted to lead round again but was bumped at the first bend and lost all chance, a line could be put through that run. The Racing Manager has eased Izzie back into A9 company this evening, and with a ping break and clear run, it's one she can take advantage of and get back to winning ways. Sly Ash (T5) will be staying on well and enters calculations as a forecast mixer. Littermate and kennelmate to the selection, Chisem Naynay (T2), is another who could get involved and is worth noting in the market.

1 pt 19:33 Hove – Yougo First (T4) @ SP

The A11 graded at 19.33 can go to the Seamus Cahill-trained youngster YOUGO FIRST who lines up from T4. In a race lacking early pace, the November 2024 son of Dorotas Wildcat looks well-drawn to lead round and, if that happens, he will prove hard to beat. In recent weeks, Yougo First has won from off the pace and has shown plenty of middle gears down the back straight.

On the bunny, Yougo First is open to plenty of improvement, so the key to the race is getting it right at the boxes and clearing those drawn on his immediate inside. Chisem Henry (T1) has proven expensive to follow of late with defeats at 15/8, Evens and 4/5. The Ricky Holloway-trained railer has a chance of finally rewarding backers if he traps well and holds his pitch into the first bend. Solo wide seed Roanna Dixie (T6) could be worth including in forecast bets from a plot draw.

1 pt 20:07 Hove – Hypershock (T4) @ SP

The third and final selection from Hove this evening is HYPERSHOCK, who runs from T4 in the D3 graded sprint at 20:07 over the two-bend 285-metre trip. The Belinda Green-trained performer has run well in D2 grade of late including a win on her card in 16.94 a couple of weeks back. Surprisingly dropped in grade, Hypershock looks well-drawn to lead round and, once on the bunny, she will prove very hard to beat.

Ardera Sal (T6) is well-drawn with T5 vacant and looks like a solid forecast selection in the race. Dees Midnight (T1) is lightly raced and open to improvement. The August 2024 daughter of Ballymac Cashout was clearly fancied on debut when sent off as the 8/11 favourite, but she could only finish third following trouble at the first bend. She’s another with live claims in a competitive race.
