Doncaster Greyhound Tips – Saturday, 20 June 2026
Doncaster’s sand surface hosts a bumper 21-race card on Saturday, with action from 10:32 through to 21:09. This Yorkshire venue is a stronghold for evening greyhound racing, and the feature races offer quality across multiple grades.
10:32 – Grade D3, 275m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | Hut Fitter | 2y D | D Calvert | 235 |
| 3 | Sandwood Annie | 2y B | J W Gaskin | 315 |
| 4 | Panaroma | 3y D | C A Williams | 31-1 |
| 5 | Slaneyside Jan | 2y B | R Overton | No form |
| 6 | Cockneyloudmouth | 2y B | S J Lapidge | No form |
Sprint racing at Doncaster favours trap 6 heavily on recent form, with a 40% win rate over the last 53 days. Sandwood Annie (Trap 3) has been in excellent recent touch, scoring at this grade and distance on 7 June with a dominant display (1.62 odds). She returned three days later with a placed effort over the same trip, showing she handles the 275m consistently. However, at Trap 3, she sits just outside the optimal zone.
Slaneyside Tara (Trap 4) offers stronger appeal. She won this exact grade and distance on 13 June, breaking smartly from the middle trap and leading throughout. Her form string reads 1-2-3-4-4 at D3 275m, showing she is a specialist over this trip. Trap 4 holds 20% of wins at this distance on recent data, and her quick-away nature suits the sprint demands. NAP: Slaneyside Tara, Trap 4.
10:48 – Grade D3, 275m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | Lissan Bro | 5y D | C A Williams | -155 |
| 3 | Hawthorn Speed | 4y B | R Overton | 242 |
| 4 | Slaneyside Tara | 2y B | R Overton | 123 |
| 5 | Tommys Flavour | 1y D | S Watson | No form |
| 6 | Killieford Zoe | 3y B | D Calvert | No form |
Hawthorn Speed (Trap 3) has shown consistent placed form at D2/D3 275m, with four runs producing two seconds and two fourths. On 13 June she finished second at this grade in Trap 3, running enthusiastically (EP = even pace). Her form over the sprint trip is reliable, and Trap 3 holds 20% of recent wins at this distance. Lissan Bro (Trap 2) has deteriorated badly, with a recent disqualification and a 13-length defeat when last seen.
Slaneyside Tara (Trap 4) appears again, and her recent run on 13 June delivered a half-length victory at this grade. She has won once in her last five runs and shows progressive form. However, Hawthorn Speed’s consistency at this exact grade and distance makes her the safer option. NAP: Hawthorn Speed, Trap 3.
11:04 – Grade A2, 483m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | Aghaburren Milly | 3y B | D Calvert | 113 |
| 3 | Grouchos Bonnie | 2y B | D Calvert | 445 |
| 4 | Saleen Robin | 3y B | C A Williams | 432 |
| 5 | Stoneparkfortune | 2y D | R Overton | No form |
| 6 | On The Wall | 2y D | J W Gaskin | No form |
Aghaburren Milly (Trap 2) is the standout performer on the card. Her form reads 1-1-3-1-1, a remarkable sequence of wins at this track and grade. She scored at Doncaster A2 483m on 15 June (5.50 odds) and 8 June (8.00 odds), showing she performs consistently when placed from Trap 2. She also won B3 450m races on the same track in May, demonstrating flexibility across distances. Her recent three-run sequence (1-1-3) confirms she is in peak form.
Saleen Robin (Trap 4) has raced almost exclusively in Open company over 661m staying trips, returning to A2 only once (2 June) when she placed second narrowly. Her form over the longer distances does not translate convincingly to 483m, and recent Open attempts show she has been struggling (4ths and 5ths). Grouchos Bonnie (Trap 3) is younger (2y) and shows mid-field finishes without a win at A2. NAP: Aghaburren Milly, Trap 2.
11:21 – Grade B2, 450m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Abigails Marina | 2y B | C A Williams | 441 |
| 2 | Grouchos Sally | 1y B | R Overton | 123 |
| 3 | Blackshore | 2y D | D Calvert | 224 |
| 4 | Redbrick Gerrard | 2y D | J W Gaskin | No form |
| 6 | Redbrick Adele | 2y B | J W Gaskin | No form |
Grouchos Sally (Trap 2) won on 13 June at B4 450m, leading throughout and running on the wall. Her form reads 1-2-3-2-3, showing multiple placed efforts and one victory at this track over 450m. She has raced successfully at Irish tracks (Thurles) and appears to be hitting form at Doncaster. Trap 2 holds 20% of wins at 450m on recent data.
Blackshore (Trap 3) offers a live alternative, with two consecutive second-place finishes at B2 450m on 15 and 7 June. His form is 2-2-4-4-2, consistent place-getting without a win. Abigails Marina (Trap 1) won once but from the inside trap, which carries disadvantage at 450m (20% only). NAP: Grouchos Sally, Trap 2.
Meeting Overview
Doncaster’s 21-race card spans D3 through A2 grades with sprint and standard-trip racing throughout. The sand surface is testing and consistent. Punters will find good value in forecast markets, particularly where mid-trap runners (3-4) show recent placed form at these distances.
Punters’ Note
Starting prices firm up around 20 minutes before each race. Forecast and reverse forecast markets are popular for greyhound racing and offer value when two or three runners are closely matched. Best bookmakers for greyhound racing in the UK include Betfair, Bet365, Sky Bet, and William Hill. Check SP movement on the day, especially for trap-dependent races like the 275m sprints where bias is pronounced.
