Bruno is backed to floor them in Saturday R3 Irish Derby opener

BALLYHOOLY BRUNO has been an early mover in the sponsor's third round heat betting for the BOYLE Sports Irish Greyhound Derby at Shelbourne Park on Saturday.

Tom O'Neill's charge, winner of the Shelbourne Open 600 in May when also drawn in one as this weekend, is 5/1 from an opening Monday evening 8/1.

UK star Proper Heiress (5/1 from 11/2) has been nibbled at for his heat three showdown with last year's first two, Bockos Diamond and Cheap Sandwiches, while Bombay Pat, Cheque For Cash, Faypoint Harvey and Priceless Romeo are others to have contracted from their initial shows.

Impressive second round winner Toolmaker King is a non-runner due to a sprained hock and has been taken out of the betting for heat six with T1 vacant.
