Cece set to add another Cat One title to her already impressive CV

CARRIGOON CECE is exceptionally hard to get away from in the £10,000 final of the Doncaster Puppy Derby over 450m at the south Yorkshire track at 7.58.

The Category One competition attracted a strong nationwide entry and the cream has risen to the top in terms of the Michelle Brown-trained selection who landed the Romford Puppy Cup last month.

One of two unbeaten finalists, she has not seen another rival and has an edge on the clock, both sectional and overall, on semi-final evidence.

Trap one was the box from which she landed semi and final at Romford so switching from the middle berth she has so far occupied here is not the concern it may otherwise have been and she can quickly settle the issue.

Demon Hunter on her immediate outside is strong all-round and taken to chase her home ahead of the other unbeaten finalist, Shado Earth, who has the speed to overcome a wide draw but could find it hard to dominate in against the selection.
