We’ve previewed the action with our best bets to hopefully provide some fillip to your midweek entertainment.
Tonight’s action focused on graded racing. This essentially means that all of the dogs running at the tracks are trained at Doncaster and run at the track most weeks.
The highest graded race is an A3 and this goes all the way down to a B6 which is one of the lowest form of action. If successful in an A1 event, you may take the step up in grade and compete in Open Racing, which is the highest quality of greyhound racing.
We enjoyed four winners from eight selections, a creditable 50% strike-rate with last week’s tips, with 11/10, 2/1, 11/4 and 7/2 winners.
We’re hungry for more success this time around and are looking to be quick out of the traps with a number of fancies at the meeting.

A dog in consistent form who finished a good third on his last start. A reproduction of some of his latest efforts would see him go close here. Bet here:

thedailymirror--2020-09-23--Nicola Sturgeon could shut pubs in Scotland - if furlough solution is found

Nicola Sturgeon has hinted that she could shut pubs in Scotland if furlough support was in place .
The Scottish First Minister said she would `` likely '' have closed hospitality venues north of the border if she had the power to extend the furlough scheme .
She said Holyrood `` must n't be hamstrung '' by Westminster and she would write to Boris Johnson asking for an extension of the scheme or greater powers for devolved administrations .
Ms Sturgeon has already gone further than England by bringing in a ban on household mixing from Wednesday - after saying @ @ @ @ @ @ @ far enough to curb the spread of the virus .
Scotland has recorded 486 positive coronavirus cases in past 24 hours , the highest number ever recorded in a single day .
Ms Sturgeon told a briefing that the numbers were a `` real cause for concern '' , with 224 of the new cases in Greater Glasgow and Clyde , where there has been a significant outbreak at the University of Glasgow .
But she said she could not close pubs and bars without economic support for the struggling hospitality industry .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ me why we do n't just close pubs completely right now .
And , actually , that is not an unreasonable question .
`` And as I said yesterday , if the Scottish Government had the power to borrow money , or to extend the furlough job retention scheme so we could mitigate the impact on jobs , it is very possible , perhaps even likely , that we would have reached a different decision on hospitality yesterday .
`` But we went as far as we could within the powers we have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ writing to the Prime Minister on the issue .
Ms Sturgeon said : `` We must n't be hamstrung in essential public health decisions by the lack of necessary economic mitigations .
`` All four UK nations agreed a joint statement to the effect that we would focus our efforts 'on suppressing the virus to the lowest possible level and keeping it there ' and that is really positive .
`` It puts aside forever the idea that we can just let this virus run , because we know it does real damage @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Ms Sturgeon added : `` There is an argument ... that all of us across the UK should actually be doing even more right now and there is a danger that what starts to hold us back is not the public health analysis but financial limitations . ''
Chancellor Rishi Sunak is under mounting pressure to extend furlough support after a backlash from businesses about a long list of new restrictions , which the PM said could last up to six months .
It comes after the First Minister announced a national ban @ @ @ @ @ @ @ - which had been in place in the west of Scotland .

thedailymirror--2020-09-23--5 things that most impressed Klopp about Thiago's Liverpool debut

Liverpool fans got a first look at new signing Thiago Alcantara on Sunday as he made his debut in a 2-0 win over Chelsea .
The midfielder came off the bench at half time to replace the injured Jordan Henderson , and settled in quickly and effectively .
Jurgen Klopp was very pleased with what he saw from the Spaniard , as was his assistant Pep Lindjers , who waxed lyrical about the 29-year-old to the press on Wednesday .
`` Good teams need good players , this team deserves a player like him , he will ensure we keep @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Teams try to destroy our plans , so we have to remain unpredictable - he does that for us .

In recent years there have been question marks over whether Liverpool really have this .

Naby Keita was perhaps expected to be this type of player for Liverpool when he was signed from RB Leipzig , but the Guinean has never really fulfilled this role for the Reds .
Thiago @ @ @ @ @ @ @ De Bruyne , but the Spaniard does offer Liverpool more creative options in midfield .
Against Chelsea the 29-year-old wasted no time dictating play , looking to float dangerous balls into Sadio Mane .
And it is exactly this what Lindjers was talking about when he said of Thiago : `` Teams try to destroy our plans , so we have to remain unpredictable - he does that for us . ''
Liverpool have relied on Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson to provide the majority of assists from wide positions .
But the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ - a new string to their bow .
There were questions over what Thiago 's introduction would mean for the likes of Fabinho and particularly Georginio Wijnaldum in recent weeks .

If there is one thing Klopp is then it is passionate.
The German lives, breathes and sleeps football, and it seems his new recruit is very much on the same page.
As the game was winding down on Sunday, Thiago forced N'Golo Kante into making a mistake, which resulted in the Chelsea star knocking the ball out for a Liverpool throw.
The challenge took place in the 89th minute of a match Liverpool were winning 2-0 - and deep in the Chelsea half of the pitch.
And yet Thiago still punched the air to celebrate the successful passage of play.
Klopp has previously celebrated tackles on the touchline, and will have been delighted to see his new signing buying into his philosophy of defending from the front so quickly.
2. Forward passing

If there is one thing every top team needs then it is a man to pull the strings and dictate play from the in the middle of the park.
In recent years there have been question marks over whether Liverpool really have this.
Jordan Henderson can play a lovely pass, but his game is different to that of Kevin de Bruyne at Manchester City, for example.
Naby Keita was perhaps expected to be this type of player for Liverpool when he was signed from RB Leipzig, but the Guinean has never really fulfilled this role for the Reds.
Thiago's game doesn't mirror that of De Bruyne, but the Spaniard does offer Liverpool more creative options in midfield.
Against Chelsea the 29-year-old wasted no time dictating play, looking to float dangerous balls into Sadio Mane.
And it is exactly this what Lindjers was talking about when he said of Thiago: "Teams try to destroy our plans, so we have to remain unpredictable - he does that for us."
Liverpool have relied on Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson to provide the majority of assists from wide positions.
But the Reds have a new attacking option now - a new string to their bow.
3. Positioning

There were questions over what Thiago's introduction would mean for the likes of Fabinho and particularly Georginio Wijnaldum in recent weeks.
La Liga giants Barcelona have been sniffing around the Holland international, and Liverpool are yet to offer him a new contract.
But Sunday's win over Chelsea in someways put all worries to bed - and provided Klopp with a clear solution to his problems.
Fabinho usually plays in a holding role for Liverpool, but he was needed at centre-back what with Joel Matip and Joe Gomez both out injured.
The Brazilian put in a man of the match display, suggesting he'll continue to play in the role for the foreseeable future, while Wijnaldum took up a more attacking position than usual.
And the Dutchman was able to do so because of the position Thiago took up on the pitch.
Sitting primarily in front of the defence, Thiago provided a new line of defence that eased pressure on the back four and allowed the attacking players to get back into position in transition.
In fact, Wijnaldum flourished in his new advanced role - a position he takes up for Holland - and was able to contribute more often to attacking play.
Meanwhile, Thiago provided the entire Liverpool attack with a get out of jail free card.
The above image from the match shows a moment just after Keita was dispossessed and Chelsea attempted to hit Liverpool on the break.
Keita is seen desperately trying to catch up with his man, while Wijnaldum, behind him, is in an even more advanced position.
Thiago, meanwhile, is sitting just in front of the defence - pretty much in line with Robertson on the left-hand side, and ready to stifle the attack.
4. Anticipation

Anticipating play is one of the hardest things to do on a football pitch. It's what has separated the likes of Lionel Messi from the rest of the pack, and is seemingly a trait you're either born with or you're not.
As previously discussed, Thiago proved he has a creative eye for picking out an attacking pass, but in addition to taking up a deep position, the Spaniard proved on Sunday he is sensational at anticipating a game.

Arguably his most impressive moment came when he read a pass before it was made and beat Timo Werner to the ball in the Liverpool box - as illustrated in the image above.
Werner isn't slow, and a mistake would have certainly led to a penalty.
But Thiago timed his tackle to perfection, beating his man to the ball and winning back possession against Chelsea's most lethal attacking threat in an incredibly dangerous position.
5. Shots at goal

Thiago may have been brought in to play a deep role in the middle, pull strings, and to provide an insurance for both the attack and defence, but he's also not against getting forward himself and having a shot.
The Spaniard didn't get a lot of chances on Sunday, after all the Reds were playing Chelsea, who boast some sensational attacking talent.
But he did test the keeper on one occasion, rifling one just past the post after picking the ball up in acres of space on the edge of the Chelsea area.

The couple were seen together on numerous date nights, including in June where they headed to Nobu with Brody's ex-wife Kaitlynn Carter.
TMZ reports that Briana and Brody split a month ago when he thought the relationship was 'moving too fast.'

Briana's new beau Nick seemed to fuel speculation he'd proposed by sharing a string of cosy couples snaps on his Instagram.
In one shot the pair are seen holding hands and walking through the desert which he captioned: "Never lost when I'm with you."
Nick turned his comments off on his loved-up fans but thousands of fans replied back to Briana to congratulate her on what they presumed was an engagement announcement.

Briana is is mum to son Freddie who she shares with One Direction star Louis Tomlinson.
The pair welcomed their first and only son in 2016 after they briefly dated following the singer's split from long-term girlfriend Eleanor Calder.
Louis previously revealed he splits his time between Los Angeles and England so he can try and spend as much time with his son as possible.

Back in June Briana paid a public tribute to Louis on Father's Day.
"Happy Father’s Day Louis," Briana wrote on Instagram. "We’ve created the most special boy and he’s lucky to call you his dad."
Louis has tried to keep his boy, who looks just like him, out of the limelight as much as possible however, he did open up about raising a child with his ex when asked about fatherhood on the Lorraine Kelly Show last year.
"When I’m with him it’s just one of those things where you feel so much love, it doesn’t matter what’s going on that’s all you’re thinking about," said Louis.

"He’s well behaved but he is a little bit mischievous. But he’s really funny. It’s so exciting."
Briana's romance with Brody Jenner - the son of Caitlyn - is believed to be her first since her split with Louis.
Brody split from wife Kaitlynn in July 2019 less than a year after they got married.
Kaitlynn quickly moved on and was spotted kissing Miley Cyrus during a holiday to Italy following the Wrecking Ball singer's split from her husband Liam Hemsworth.
