Thursday's free greyhound racing tips and selections for latest BAGS and live TV action across UK


We run the rule over the latest greyhounds action and pick out our best bets, as well as providing race-by-race selections.

BEST BET: Capel Rose (T2, 4.16 Crayford)

NEXT BEST: Bombay Hilda (T4, 4.53 Crayford)

TREBLE: One More Tune (T1, 3.19 Crayford)

The pick of the Boxing Day action is at Crayford where the final of the Ladbrokes Boxing Day Marathon (4.16) takes centre stage.

Just the five head to the traps and Capel Rose (T2) can get first run. Freshened up for this following her George Curtis & Ballyregan Bob no-show at Hove last month, the daughter of Vulturi boasts strong track form, which includes a four-length success at the expense of the reopposing Maleficent over 714m in April. She got the better of Turbine Tilly in the heats and gets a confident vote to do the business in the decider.

That is the sole open race on the card but there is some competitive graded racing too, notably over the Boxing Day Marathon track and trip at 4.53.

M1 is the grade over 874m and Bombay Hilda (T4) can take full advantage of the class drop having finished fourth behind the aforementioned Capel Rose in the Boxing Day Marathon heats last week.

The E1 at 3.19 is over the 714m trip and it could pay to side with One More Tune (T1).

She won a Maiden Stayers final over the distance emphatically in the summer and looked ready for the step back up in trip when winning from off the pace over 540m in S2 company last time.
