FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - John Turner has an exciting mare on his hands in Tipperary scorer Finest Evermore, and himself and Willie Mullins and Paul Townend could well combine for another success here through BUILDMEUPBUTTERCUP. Turner loves his greyhound racing of course, and doubtless he’ll be taking a keen interest in the Boylesports Irish Greyhound Derby, which began at Shelbourne Park last weekend. The English owner has gotten plenty of enjoyment out of Buildmeupbuttercup already, and though she was a beaten favourite on the Flat last time at Galway, she’s generally been a consistent sort in recent times. Her 143-rating makes her a stand-out against these opponents. Penny Out hasn’t run over flights since last November. She’s in a really good place right now, as evidenced by her performances on the level recently. John Kiely’s mare has a better chance than the ratings would have you believe.
