JONATHAN HOBBS: There’s a midweek boost on SportyStuff TV/RPGTV on Tuesday with the rearranged heats of both the Ladbrokes Puppy Derby and Ladbrokes Winter Derby at Monmore.

A victim of the cold weather on Saturday, a 12-race all-open card now takes places at the Wolverhampton venue on Tuesday with the first three in each contest qualifying for the weekend’s semi-finals – and don’t forget ante-post prices are available.

Our Crayford fancies – Redzer Renae (Ladbrokes Golden Jacket), Antigua Boy (Peter Bussey Memorial Trophy), Nomansland Flyer (Chief Ramsbottom Hurdle) and Ballynabee Lucky (Welcome to Hope Jeal Trophy) have all made it through to their finals!

So can we do the same at Monmore?

For the record, the long-odds fancies each-way at the Midlands venue are Burnchurch Mick (Ladbrokes Puppy Derby) and Queen Jessiej (Ladbrokes Winter Derby).

As for the heats, here are the races which catch the eye.

Monmore Tuesday

6.48: Jaguar Macie looks tough to look beyond in heat three of the Ladbrokes Puppy Derby. The draw looks a peach again and a repeat of her trial stakes victory last week should do the business for Graham Rankin’s bitch. She gets away again.

Play: Jaguar Macie

7.07: Heat three of the Puppy Derby and the value selection is Geelo Celticgold who looks a prospect judged on her two runs at Sheffield. She boasts superb early pace and a lead is possible down the middle for Carl Perry’s bitch – although clearing Bettys Book is key.

Play: Geelo Celticgold

7.24: Freedom Editor might go well in this Puppy Derby heat. Paul Sallis’s runner trialled well and fast and can improve after just four starts. He starts and stays well and local knowledge could be key in a competitive affair. Language Dick is well drawn.

Play: Freedom Editor

8.03: The best race of the night with a host of top-class trackers lining up, including a Derby finalist (Smurfs Machine). However that might mean Tenpin will be taken on in the market, but David Mullins’s dog has the speed to lead up – providing he breaks smartly.

Play: Tenpin

8.23: Another of the major stars on the card is Queen Jessiej, whose form at Monmore is top drawer. Liz McNair’s strong runner has an ace draw inside and, if holding her position, might always be in control to beat improving local Magical Arrow.

Play: Queen Jessiej

8.43: Mark Wallis’s Coolavanny Kyser ran well during the recent Blue Riband, finishing second to Kilara Lion. The early pace he showed at Towcester will be better suited to Monmore and an all-the-way victory looks on the cards, if holding Signet Ace into the turn.

Play: Coolavanny Kyser

9.18: Gymstar Elusive is a lightly raced sort who has trialled well and fast and could stamp his authority on this for Chris Akers. Slower trappers inside gives him every chance to dominate, although any mistakes and Hopes Bullet will soon be pitching for a position.

Play: Gymstar Elusive

9.31: The Monmore finale and Swift Lettuce (9.31) could be the answer to a competitive affair. He’s a cracking early pacer on his day and a slick exit might soon put these under pressure for the John Mullins’ camp. A smash break from Signet Mafia would also threaten.

Play: Swift Lettuce

Good luck all.
