Doncaster Greyhound Tips – Saturday 20 June 2026

Doncaster hosts a full 21-race card on Saturday, with the opening race at 10:32 and action continuing through to 21:09. This popular South Yorkshire venue serves up a strong evening programme with a mix of grades across both sprint and standard distances.

10:32 – Grade D3, 275m

Hut Fitter looks well placed in Trap 2 after a near-miss second in this exact grade just one week ago (13 June, by half a length at 2.63). The recent form sheet shows consistent D3 275m experience, though the dog did struggle in B3 450m company over the past month, suggesting the shorter trip is the natural home. Sandwood Annie in Trap 3 offers interesting claims after a 275m win on 7 June (1.62 odds) and sits just two lengths clear of favourite odds. However, the trap bias data favours wider draws at this distance: Trap 6 has hit 40% win rate over the last 60 days, with Trap 5 at 30%. Slaneyside Tara (Trap 4) shows explosive recent form with a 275m win on 13 June and two runner-up finishes, hitting the frame in four of five recent starts.

NAP: Slaneyside Tara, Trap 4. The 2-year-old has proven form at this exact grade and distance, with a recent win and consistent placement finishes. Trap 4 sits in the sweet spot for the 275m, recording 30% win rate in the bias data, and the dog showed enough pace and early-race execution on 13 June to suggest readiness.

10:48 – Grade D3, 275m

Hawthorn Speed (Trap 3) returned to winning form and placed second in this grade as recently as 13 June by three-quarters of a length, establishing strong local form at D3 level. The 4-year-old has three placings in the last five outings and shows the experience edge. However, Slaneyside Tara in Trap 4 must merit consideration again: the recent 275m specialist struck a win on 13 June at 4.50, backed by a runner-up finish on 7 June, and the trap continues to show reliable data. Lissan Bro (Trap 2) shows concern with a stewards’ disqualification on 10 June followed by a heavy fifth-place finish over this trip, suggesting form may be fragile.

NAP: Hawthorn Speed, Trap 3. The 4-year-old has recent wins in D2/D3 company and returns here with a fresh approach after placing second at odds of 2.38 in the latest outing. Trap 3 carries mid-range bias for 275m and experience counts at this level.

11:04 – Grade A2, 483m

Aghaburren Milly dominates the form guide with consecutive wins on 15 June and 8 June at this exact distance, grade and track. The 3-year-old bitch has won four of the last five starts and was freshly successful just five days ago by half a length at 5.50 odds. Trainer D Calvert’s runner sits in Trap 2 with solid mid-range form. Saleen Robin (Trap 4, trainer C A Williams) offers an alternative angle, recording a close second on 1 June (by a nose) at 15.00 odds over 483m A2, though recent form has drifted into longer-trip Open races where stamina demands have cost the 3-year-old. Grouchos Bonnie (Trap 3) shows inconsistent A2 returns with placings mixed between 4th and 5th positions over the last few weeks.

NAP: Aghaburren Milly, Trap 2. The recent dual winner at this grade, distance and track is the standout choice. Two consecutive victories within five days prove current form is electric, and Trap 2 offers a balanced draw for the 483m standard trip at Doncaster.

11:21 – Grade B2, 450m

Grouchos Sally (Trap 2, trainer R Overton) emerges with the standout recent form, recording a commanding 450m B4 win on 13 June by six lengths at 3.75 odds, backed by a runner-up on 6 June and placing finishes in grade. The 1-year-old pup shows rapid progression and despite the slight grade step up to B2, the recent strike rate and early-race authority are compelling. Blackshore (Trap 3) has placed second in two of the last three 450m B2 outings but remains stuck at runner-up level, with narrow defeats on 15 June (2 lengths) and 7 June (by a nose). Abigails Marina (Trap 1, trainer C A Williams) secured a B2 win on 31 May but has trailed in fourth-place finishes in the two races since, suggesting a dip in consistency.

NAP: Grouchos Sally, Trap 2. The recent B4 winner shows electric form and has demonstrated sharp early pace in multiple recent outings. Trainer R Overton’s runner earned a half-length placing in rails company and the progression to B2 looks natural. Trap 2 carries balanced bias for 450m racing at Doncaster.

Meeting Overview

Saturday’s 21-race card spans D3 through A2 grades, with sprint 275m action early followed by standard 450m to 483m racing. The feature races provide clear standout form angles: Aghaburren Milly’s recent A2 dominance, Grouchos Sally’s rapid B4 progression, and consistent D3 sprint form across multiple runners. Wider trap bias favours Trap 6 at the 275m (40% win rate) and Trap 3 for 450m (30%), though recent form often outweighs draw advantage in lower grades.

Punters’ Note

Check Starting Price from 30 minutes before first race. Greyhound racing is best served at Betfair, Bet365, SkyBet and William Hill, all offering full win and place markets plus forecast combinations. Forecast betting is popular in greyhound racing: back a winning 1st and 2nd in sequence, or reverse forecast for either order. Track conditions remain firm on the sand surface and should hold stable throughout the day. Each-way play is uncommon due to small field sizes, but forecast markets reward form analysis and trap awareness.
