Doncaster Greyhound Tips – Saturday 20 June 2026

Doncaster hosts a bumper 21-race card on Saturday, with the Yorkshire sand circuit in fine form across its full evening programme.

10:32 – Grade D3, 275m

The opening sprint delivers a strong favourite in Sandwood Annie, trained by J W Gaskin. Annie’s form reads 31245 across her last five outings, with a comfortable win at this track and grade just eight days ago (1 June, beaten length, odds 1.62). She’s trapped in Trap 3, which shows a 20% strike rate at 275m over the last 53 days, but her recent win came from this exact trap. The dog demonstrates mid-range consistency and a sharp turn of foot into the home straight. However, Trap 6 holds the strongest bias data at 40% for sprint winners at Doncaster, and that’s where Cockneyloudmouth lines up, though with no recent form available. Hut Fitter (Trap 2) offers a tighter alternative: his form string 23544 shows recent 2nd place at this distance and grade, and he’s trained by proven Doncaster handler D Calvert. Trap 2 records only 10% for sprint success here, making it a less favoured draw.

NAP: Sandwood Annie, Trap 3. She’s in excellent form, race fit, and proven at this exact distance and grade.

10:48 – Grade D3, 275m

Slaneyside Tara emerges as the standout selection in this sprint heat. Her form reads 12344 across five recent races, with a commanding win just three days ago (13 June, beaten ½ length, odds 4.50) from Trap 4 at Doncaster. She’s trapped in Trap 4 again, which aligns with the 20% baseline data for this distance (less favourable than Trap 6 at 40%, but solid middle ground). Tara shows progressive form and consistent mid-range racing. Hawthorn Speed (Trap 3, R Overton) presents supporting form with a 2 in last time out (13 June, beaten ¾ length, odds 2.38), and her run-in score suggests she runs on late, but Tara’s sharper closing speed and fresher form edge her narrowly. Lissan Bro (Trap 2) remains unconvincing after a recent steward’s decision and earlier 5th place finishes.

NAP: Slaneyside Tara, Trap 4. Strong recent form, proven at the distance and grade, and the trap draw offers neutral balance.

11:04 – Grade A2, 483m

Aghaburren Milly stands out as the feature-race banker. Her form reads 13111 across her last five starts, with two wins in consecutive outings (8 and 15 June), both at Doncaster, both at A2 grade, both at 483m. Trained by D Calvert, she’s trapped in Trap 2, which posts a respectable 20% strike rate for this distance and grade over the last 53 days (Trap 3 leads at 30%). But Milly’s actual race record trumps raw trap statistics. She’s proven at this exact track, trip and class, runs consistently at the mid range, and holds a strong finishing record. Her last outing (15 June) saw her win by ½ length at 5.50 odds, indicating she’s likely to drift slightly in the market but remains the form horse.

Saleen Robin (Trap 4, C A Williams) offers form 43254 but has been racing longer trips (661m OR races), finishing further back, and appears to have tired in recent stays. Grouchos Bonnie (Trap 3) shows form 45452, suggesting she’s struggling to compete at A2 level and may be better suited to lower grades.

NAP: Aghaburren Milly, Trap 2. Dominant recent form at this exact distance, grade and venue. A prime ante-post selection.

11:21 – Grade B2, 450m

Grouchos Sally offers exceptional value at B2 over 450m. Her form string reads 12323 (reading chronologically), with a dominant win last time out on 13 June (beaten 6 lengths, odds 3.75) from Trap 2. She’s trapped in Trap 2 again, which matches the 20% baseline for this distance and grade (Trap 3 at 30% is favoured). However, Sally’s raw form is electric. She’s only 1 year old, yet she’s shown one win, two placings in her last five runs, and improved form across recent racing. She carries just 1y age tag, suggesting she’s still finding her feet. Trainer R Overton has her sharp and ready.

Blackshore (Trap 3) posts form 22244, with consistent minor placings and a close 2nd last outing (15 June, beaten 2 lengths, odds 5.50). Trap 3 holds the 30% advantage for this distance and grade, and Blackshore is race-fit. However, Sally’s upward trajectory and recent win edge her ahead. Abigails Marina (Trap 1) shows form 43123 but struggles from Trap 1 (20% bias) and inconsistent recent results.

NAP: Grouchos Sally, Trap 2. Sharp juvenile form, recent winning effort, and improving record at this grade.

Meeting Overview

Saturday’s Doncaster card spans 21 races from 10:32 to 21:09, mixing D-grade sprints early, B and A-grade 450m to 483m middle distance races, and likely staying trips later in the card. The sand surface is favourable for predictable form reading, and the feature races offer solid betting angles across multiple grades. Forecast markets remain strong value across the 450m and 483m heats.

Punters’ Note

Check Starting Price movements 15 minutes before each race; Doncaster fields often see last-minute market shifts. Betfair and Bet365 offer the keenest early greyhound odds, with SkyBet and William Hill competitive on SP. Forecast and reverse forecast markets offer better value than traditional win bets on this card, particularly in the competitive A2 and B2 races. Each-way is not standard in greyhound racing.
