Two Oxford veteran stalwarts go head to head in the A1 over 450 metres at Oxford Stadium tonight.

Both Kisskissbangbang and Pawsey’s Pride are 2006 whelps and have covered themselves with glory over the last couple of years with plenty of victories.

Normally, at this stage they start to show signs of their age, but not these two and will head the betting for tonight’s encounter.

Though I am going to side with Pawseys Pride to give Angie Kibble, the current leading trainer to get one over Maurice Massey’s charge, they both should be aware of Kibble’s second string the young pretender Sniper Sammy.

The brindle dog, looked to all intents and purposes well beaten last time out, but for a storming late dash that saw him get up to beat the highly rated Gortnaskeha Owl by half a length. A notorious slow starter, but watch out for Sammy up the home straight, a big danger.
