 Pinson also owned Tric-Trac and put the pair with Owlerton trainer Jim Hookway.Other leading entries included Irish greyhound 'The Grand Silver' trained by Paddy Dunphy and Silver Hope one of a strong team of four for Clapton trainer Paddy Keane.Neither Tric-Trac or Spectre II won their first round heats but all of the main contenders safely progressed to the second round with the exception of Monalee Champion who had been the ante post favourite at 10-1, back in January when the first lists had been compiled.
