SWINDON trainer Matt Dartnall is hoping to go one better in tonight’s Arc final at Blunsdon’s Abbey Stadium. Dartnall’s Glenard Sunrise was beaten by half a length in last year’s final by fellow Swindon trainer Nick Colton’s Jolly Poacher. Ballymac Cryan is Dartnall’s hope tonight and so long as he can avoid the traffic, the Swindon trainer is confident of being in the mix at the line. “I was beaten in last year’s final by half a length so it would be great to go one better,” said Dartnall, who is no stranger to success having won this year’s Ladbrokes Golden Jacket at Crayford with Blue Bee. “I am really looking forward to it and we have a good chance. “If he [Ballymac Cryan] can get to bend two free from the traffic then I would say we have a great chance. “The main threat should come from King Jaffa and Sids Dream in traps one and two. They’ve obviously been quick in qualifying and they’ve got good draws but we will have to wait and see. “It should be a good night and, being attached to Swindon, I should have plenty of support.” Ballymac Cryan is Swindon’s sole representative in the Ladbrokes Arc Final, qualifying second in all three heats. He will race from trap two and tends to run on strongly towards the finish. Tonight’s final is worth £8,000 to the eventual winner and is one of Sky Sports’ greyhound feature races of the year. Sky Sports will broadcast the race live from the Abbey Stadium. Favourite to lift the trophy is Sids Dream, trained up by champion trainer Chris Allsopp. Dream is the new track record holder, clocking an impressive 28.20 in the second round but Jazz Apollo should push Sids Dream all the way, the second favourite putting in some excellent performances en route to the final. The Arc final is supported by eight top quality open races which are filled with greyhounds that are travelling from all over the country. The best of Swindon’s chances looks to come in race three with stayer Wise Totty. Trained by local trainer Peter Swadden, Totty has a great draw in trap one, and looks to be the classiest of the field. Ding Hero, trained by Kevin Hutton, runs for Swindon in the first live Sky TV race of the evening, and looks to have a brilliant chance to win from trap two. Tonight’s racing starts at 7.25pm, with 10 races on offer and gates opening at 6.30pm.
