Trainer Charlie Lister is on course to win the williamhill.com Greyhound Derby for a seventh time on Saturday after his dog Taylors Sky leapt to joint favourite.

Last year’s winner bagged himself a slot in the final when he came second to Blonde Snapper in last weekend’s semi-finals, where previous favourite Razldazl Jayfkay bowed out.

Taylors Sky and Coolavanny Bert are 5-2 joint favourites for the win when they line up alongside Farloe Ironman, Westmead Adonis, Judicial Ruling and Blonde Snapper on Saturday.

As well as the Derby final, there will also be the Champion Hurdle final and Derby Plate final.
