The 843m greyhound marathon at Yarmouth looks to be an interesting puzzle..

... so let’s have a go at solving it.

I’m talking about the William Hill TV Trophy at Yarmouth Stadium on Tuesday 5th June; the three heats being run tomorrow 30th May.

It is extremely difficult to assess dogs over a distance like this especially as only half the field of the 3 heats have a ‘best time’ over that distance

I’ve examined the information available for the nine runners who have competed over various distances from around 600m to over 800m and have tried to slot them into the list containing the nine runners that have run over the 843m course.

Let’s say that one of the current favourites Spiridon Louis 15/8 looks like it could win this but I’m not sure that Head Iton Jordan at 7/4 from Coventry can do the business. I‘ve no intention of backing either because as usual I will be looking for a good price ‘value’ bet. I think the Hove dog of Brian Clemerson’s Cash For Kate at 5/1 could put up a good show. This one is a value bet but I’m looking for something bigger at what I term ‘excellent value’. It has to be big enough for each way betting at low stakes. I’ve come up with a list of 5 at 1 point ew, 1/4 odds a place, to give me a bit of fun between now and June 5th. I need at least one to get through to the final.

If they all blow up I will have lost 10 points! Which won’t be too bad…

Here goes:

Snappy Girl at 33/1 Ladbrokes.

Shes The Deal at 66/1 Ladbrokes.

Smooth Darika 50/1 Ladbrokes and Coral. (It’s 100/1 with William Hill but we don’t have a Hill’s shop in our town).

Shelbourne Holly 25/1 Ladbrokes.

Teds Anchor 50/1 Coral.

OK - roll the dice and let’s see how I get on…

Come racing!!
