All the latest from Crayford Greyhound Track

Chans Dream made it two wins on the trot when successful in a S4
race here over 540m on Saturday.
This victory followed on from the dog's win over the Christmas
period at S5 level.
He joined Crayford trainer Barry O'Sullivan's kennels in late
September, having had eight previous races at Nottingham.
The greyhound only lost his puppy status a couple of months ago
and with 22 competitive races now on his record, we can expect to
see further steady progression.
He has run against some decent company here and with his early
pace, it is only even money in my books about him making it a hat-
trick on his reappearance.
You have to have admiration for any dog that has won six from 10
races.
Trainer Julie Luckhurst has seen her December 2009 pup Chippys
Chiseler make rapid progress, climbing up the grades which since
just last November has seen her upgraded from level A7 to the
expected A2 next time.
The dog has been a model of consistency and looks like
developing into one of those greyhounds that will win here on a
regular basis. It's early days but she is certainly a nice
prospect.
An interesting statistic is that all eight races for her to date
here have been from trap two. A change of trap when it happens may
make all the difference. Whether it will be beneficial, we will
have to wait.
You never know what to expect from We Never Knew and in
hindsight, her name is entirely appropriate after she romped to
victory in a fast time of 23.96sec in a bottom grade A8 race at the
weekend. What you never know is exactly what she might do - it
is very much a case of which We Never Knew will turn up at the
races.
A week earlier she had missed her break completely and recorded
a slow time of 25.12 or, if you prefer, some 14 and a half lengths
slower in running on the clock.
Go back to last April and you will find a 23.66 win time on her
card in an A6 race.
In simple terms, you should be conscious of what she is capable
of when she gets it right. Trap three is her box and grade A7 well
within her scope. If she gets both when she races again, the
writing could well be on the wall.
There is no point sitting on the fence, however, so I will
suggest she will show her opponents a clean pair of heels.
