Best Bet: Antigua Hawk (T1, 8.01 Newcastle)

Next Best: Wicky Ned (T2, 7.44 Newcastle)

Treble: Delvin Cat (T6, 8.19 Newcastle)

Three semi-finals of the Premier Greyhound Racing All England Cup take centre stage at Newcastle this evening, and the highly-promising Antigua Hawk (T1) makes plenty of appeal at 8.01.

Following a blistering trial spin in 28.27, Tom Heilbron's recent Irish acquisition still looked a bit inexperienced from the traps in the first round.

However, he finished off powerfully when just failing to peg back the pace-setting Links Maverick and could be a different proposition with that run under his belt. It would be no surprise if he turns the tables on that rival.

The multiple Category One-winning Wicky Ned (T2) failed to justify his short odds in the opening round, and did remarkably well to qualify after having the door slammed shut when trying to mount a strong challenge down the back straight.

This August '22 dog will have to bring his A-game to the traps against some speedy types at 7.44, but he always seems to produce the goods when needed.

Delvin Cat (T6) has posted some decent times over this 480m in the past and did nothing wrong when chasing home Colliers Brynner in last week's heats.

Stephen Caile's charge has avoided the big guns in the third semi at 8.19 and he looks sure to give a good account if holding a prominent position in the early exchanges.
