Power set to turn it on again at NottinghamBY JONATHAN KAYLOOK LIKE POWER made it four wins in four Nottingham starts when scoring in a similar contest last week and Jimmy Fenwick’s dog can enhance that record still further in a 500m Star Sports & Arc Derby trial stakes (9.11).
On a night when star kennelmate Ice On Fire is due to continue on the comeback trail with a sprint trial before racing, the selection can ping out and quickly assert.
BORNA SHELLY signed off in Ireland with a Clonmel victory over classy Newinn Sheedy in March and can open his British account at the third time of asking at 8.52.
Joanne O’Neill’s dog has run two crackers to date, firstly when third to classy Levante Beach at Newcastle and then a slightly unlucky second to Drumcrow Linnet here a fortnight ago.
Matt Dartnall’s DISTANT VILLAGE showed plenty of pace before finding Look Like Power just too strong last week and makes a lot of appeal in the finale at 9.26.
The Sussex Cup finalist has a better break in him than seven days ago and can soon put his rivals under pressure.
Dartnall’s MISTER BRENTFORD saw his winning sequence ended at three behind Pennylane Fionn, but he still showed up well and gets the vote to embark on another streak at 8.36

GBGB announces dispensation to English Greyhound Derby qualification to support international entries amid COVID-19 travel restrictionsGBGB has today announced that, following a meeting of the GRB, it will be granting a rule dispensation for the English Greyhound Derby to support international entries amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.
The dispensation seeks to lessen some of the difficulties facing Irish trainers and owners who wish to compete in the competition due to the severe travel restrictions currently in place in the Republic of Ireland. At the moment, these measures require those returning from England to quarantine for two weeks upon their arrival back.
To avoid the need to travel and face these quarantine restrictions, GBGB recognises that an international trainer or owner may wish to send their greyhound to a GBGB licensed trainer for participation in the event. As such, on this occasion it has been agreed that the registration and trialling requirements for international entries to the Derby would be simplified – reducing to one trial.
This means that, for international trainers or owners sending a greyhound to a GBGB licensed trainer for participation:
The greyhound must have successfully completed at least one trial or race at a GBGB licensed racecourse, or racecourse recognised by GBGB on or after 12th September 2020 (within 22 days of the first round) but before 24th September 2020 (the closing date).
This trial can be completed over any distance and can be solo or mixed.
The greyhound must be registered with GBGB in the normal way to include a Point of Registration sample and payment to the Greyhound Retirement Scheme.
Paul Illingworth, Senior Stipendiary Steward at GBGB, said: “With the Irish Greyhound Derby well underway and trainers beginning to turn their attention to the English Derby, we have been working at ways we can support international entries whilst the COVID-19 travel restrictions remain in place. “Unfortunately, I know that for some Irish trainers, particularly those with much smaller kennels, entering a greyhound in the English Derby may not be a viable option at the moment because of the need to quarantine on their return – particularly if they would tend to commute each week rather than stay in England for the duration of the competition. “As such, the dispensation to the qualification rules that we have announced – whilst obviously not a perfect solution given the realities of the current pandemic – aims to support international entries as much as possible. “The English Derby has seen some stunning competition and winners in the past from Irish greyhounds and we want to ensure that, wherever we can, we help this continue whilst upholding the highest integrity and welfare measures.”
