The final of the £175,000 to the winner English Greyhound Derby takes centre stage at Towcester tonight and there's huge Cork interest in the feature final.

It’s been a tremendous couple of weeks for Graham Holland and the Golden-based trainer has managed to get three through to the decider with Swords Rex, Clona Duke and Gaytime Nemo all securing their passage to this point.
