The English Greyhound Derby is the premier event on the greyhound racing calendar and 185 dogs are set to take their chance this year.

Towcester once again plays host to the six-week competition, which begins with the first round on Thursday, May 25 before the big final on Saturday, July 1 where one dog will earn £175,000 for connections.

Romeo Magico battled through the rounds to come out on top in 2022. The three-year-old returns for another shot at glory and is bidding to become just the fifth dual winner of the English Greyhound Derby.
