We are at Towcester Racecourse this Sunday afternoon for a quality Open Race card.
Our Dog Of The Day runs in the 14:54 Standard, where the form of the trainer makes one greyhound impossible to ignore.
The Selection: Fabulous Aria
Date: Sunday, 11 Jan 2026
Track: Towcester
Race: 14:54 (Race 2)
Grade: OR (Open Race Standard – 500m)
Trainer: Patrick Janssens
Fabulous Aria arrives at Towcester representing the Patrick Janssens kennel, which is currently operating at a frightening 54.54% strike rate. Put simply: more than half the dogs they send out are winning right now.
Form Analysis Consistency is key in Open Racing, and Fabulous Aria brings a rock-solid profile of T1121 to the table. She has been mixing it with the best and proving difficult to beat.
Her main rival on the clock is Happy Jet, who boasts a huge Master Rating but lacks the experience and consistency of our selection. Towcester is a galloping track that rewards trackcraft and strength, and we trust the Janssens runner to handle the “slight incline” and the long back straight better than her rivals.
The analyst verdict tips her to be “difficult to catch,” and with the kennel in such red-hot form, the 5/4 forecast price looks like a solid investment to bank on this Sunday.

Good luck to Fabulous Aria!
Based on the race form and data we have for the 14:54 at Towcester (Sunday 11 January 2026), the greyhound most likely to win is Fabulous Aria.
Here is the analysis of the field:
The Top Choice: Fabulous Aria
Trainer Form: The standout statistic in this race is the trainer’s strike rate. Patrick Janssens is operating at an incredible 54.54% over the last 21 days. When a kennel is in that kind of form, their runners are extremely hard to oppose.
Consistency: The form figures T1121 (Trial, 1st, 1st, 2nd, 1st) show a greyhound who knows how to win. The analyst notes she is “proving consistent” and “continues in form.”
Market Confidence: She is the clear 5/4 Favorite in the betting forecast.
The Main Threat: Happy Jet
The Time Factor: The form comments are very specific: “Easily the best on time.” This is backed up by a massive Master Rating of 143, which is significantly higher than Fabulous Aria (130) or Getup Me Izzy (131).
The Risk: Despite the speed, Happy Jet has a lower win record (1/4) and is less experienced than the favorite. He is the high-risk, high-reward option at 7/2.
Tactics: The comment “Good chance of leading” suggests he will try to hit the front early. If he clears the field, his superior clock time makes him dangerous.
The Solid Option: Getup Me Izzy
Trainer Form: C. Weatherall is also flying with a 34.61% strike rate.
Form: A reliable sort with solid recent efforts. At 4/1, she represents good each-way value, though she often lacks that yard of early pace compared to the top two.
Summary Prediction
Winner: Fabulous Aria
Runner-up: Happy Jet
Third: Getup Me Izzy
Recommendation: Fabulous Aria is the selection. While Happy Jet is faster on the clock, the 54% strike rate of the Patrick Janssens kennel suggests Aria is the far more reliable proposition to handle the race conditions and get the job done.
