Hove Greyhound Tips – Thursday, 11 June 2026
Hove’s fast sand surface and tight bends demand respect for trap draw and early speed, with the card featuring four A-grade races across 500m. First race kicks off at 18:08.
18:08 – Grade A6, 500m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Wickhurst John | 4y D | T Taylor | 235 |
| 2 | Yougo Jessie | 3y B | S Cahill | 232 |
| 3 | Digbys Maverick | 2y B | B Green | 631 |
| 4 | Burrows Bluebell | 2y B | J Heath | No form |
| 6 | Kates Bart | 3y D | R Holloway | No form |
Wickhurst John lines up in trap 1 with recent form showing 2-3-5-2-6 at this grade and distance. The dog has shown consistency here at Hove, landing a second just six days ago from trap 1. However, alternating form (win, loss pattern) suggests a dog that can peak sharply but lacks the reliability needed in tighter A-grade company.
Yougo Jessie from trap 2 is the pick. Recent form reads 2-3-2-2-4 across five runs at A6 level, all at Hove. The dog has finished second in three of the last four outings, most recently landing a nose second from trap 2 just six days back. Quick away (QAw) notation appears regularly, suggesting solid trap clearance. NAP: Yougo Jessie, Trap 2. Look for each-way value in forecast markets pairing Yougo Jessie with Wickhurst John.
18:42 – Grade A1, 500m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Pawsome Bullet | 2y D | T Taylor | 445 |
| 2 | Dave Allthe Way | 2y D | B Green | 231 |
| 3 | Droopys Softy | 2y B | R Holloway | 625 |
| 4 | Slick Mick | 2y D | G Byford | No form |
| 6 | Senahel Pikachu | 4y D | S Cahill | No form |
Dave Allthe Way deserves top billing here. Form string 1-2-1-2-1 across five recent runs represents elite consistency at this top-grade level. The dog won most recently (2 May, odds 3.75, trap 2) and has landed placings in three of the last four starts. Trap 2 tonight suits the dog’s quick away tendency, and the pattern of racing here at Hove at A1 distance shows familiarity and proven winning capability. NAP: Dave Allthe Way, Trap 2. Strong forecast appeal pairing Dave Allthe Way with Pawsome Bullet, who showed recent A1 form albeit with a sixth.
18:59 – Grade A5, 500m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Droopys Favourit | 1y B | T Taylor | 444 |
| 2 | Radical Dreamer | 2y D | G Byford | 136 |
| 3 | Kilkenny Kyteler | 1y B | D Knight | 213 |
| 4 | Boogie Bullet | 2y B | T Taylor | No form |
| 5 | Stormy Bluey | 2y D | R Holloway | No form |
Kilkenny Kyteler in trap 3 stands out with recent form 2-1-3-1-3 at this grade. The dog broke through for a 500m win at Hove on 30 May (trap 3, odds 2.88) after runner-up finishes, showing progression. Early pace is evident across multiple runs (QAw, EP notations), and middle-trap draw suits this 500m trip. Radical Dreamer (trap 2) brings A1 pedigree from Irish tracks but lacks recent Hove data; form reads 1-3-6-3-5 across April and May at different venues. NAP: Kilkenny Kyteler, Trap 3. Expect tight margins in this grade; consider forecast bets with Radical Dreamer as a likely challenger.
19:16 – Grade A2, 500m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Jess Again | 2y B | B Green | 216 |
| 2 | Zenia | 1y B | P J Browne | 441 |
| 3 | Feora Joy | 3y B | J Heath | 112 |
| 4 | Razor Gun | 3y D | P J Browne | No form |
| 6 | Hazelhill Gem | 4y B | G Byford | No form |
Feora Joy in trap 3 posted impressive recent form: 1-1-2-2-1 across five runs at A2-A4 level. The dog won last time out (3 June, odds 6.00, trap 3) and has secured victories in two of the last three starts. The pattern shows increasing confidence, with multiple led performances noted (Ld3/4, Ld1/2). Trap 3 at 500m is a solid draw on Hove’s tight circuit. Jess Again (trap 1) has run 2-1-6-2-3, showing promise with a 21 May win but the sixth-place finish four days later raises concern. NAP: Feora Joy, Trap 3. Forecast pairing Feora Joy and Jess Again offers value given their recent head-to-head proximity in the grades.
