Hove Greyhound Tips – Sunday 21 June 2026

Brighton’s Hove stadium hosts 12 races on the south coast today, kicking off at 14:23 on a fast sand surface where tight bends reward explosive acceleration and tactical positioning.

14:23 – Grade A5, 500m

The opener is a competitive A5 affair featuring Montalto Mist, a young bitch aged just 2 years trained by M J Richards. Her recent form reads 13441, with a strong win last time out at A6 grade on 12 June over this exact trip. The key entry is her 2 June outing when she finished third at A6, clocking solid middle-trap form with a clear run. At this grade step-up, she looks well-placed to continue climbing. Swift Francesca, a 4-year-old from K Dodington’s yard, offers contrasting experience with form 32352 over her last five, including a recent third-place finish at A5 level. However, her recent workrate has tailed off. Turbine Tynamite from D Knight’s stable has finished 5, 4, 4, 2, 1 over her last five, but the two most recent efforts (5 and 4 finishes) show a decline at A4 grade before tonight’s drop to A5.

NAP: Montalto Mist, Trap 3. She has momentum, recent course form, and the mid-trap draw suits her running style. At just 2 years old, she is improving sharply through the grades.

15:01 – Grade A3, 500m

A tighter A3 contest headlined by Gorgeous Girl, a 4-year-old bitch trained by D Knight. Her recent form is 12123, with two wins in her last five starts, most recently on 14 June when she won at A4 grade. What stands out is her mid-trap success: her last three races show finishes of 1, 2, and 2 from middle traps (all trap 4), indicating strong tactical nous around the Hove bend. Sly Bluebird from S Maplesden has form reading 12623, but that 6 (a DNF on 17 January) followed by a long break raises questions about consistency. Unanimous Ali, also from Maplesden’s yard, shows 53253 over five recent outings at A3 level. Trap 1 has not delivered wins for her on recent evidence, and tonight’s A3 grade represents her comfort zone rather than progression.

NAP: Gorgeous Girl, Trap 3. She is in peak form with two recent wins, carries consistent mid-trap advantage at Hove, and the A3 grade suits her recent winning trajectory.

14:23 (First Race) – Grade A5, 500m

This opening A5 race (14:23) features mostly unexposed runners or those with limited recent data. Turbine Tynamite’s recent form (54421) shows recent struggles at A4, though she did win at A3 on 1 March. Her trap 1 draw tonight offers no particular advantage on the Hove circuit, where inside traps often suffer congestion into the tight bends.

16:53 – Grade A2, 500m

The feature race at 16:53 brings a full-strength A2 field. Straight Shot, a 3-year-old dog trained by D Knight, carries outstanding recent form: 13241 over his last five, with a brilliant win last time at A2 level on 12 June by a short head. His form comments (Rls, LdNrLn) indicate he settles well and leads near the line, a signature winning trait. That victory came from trap 1, and his previous 2nd place (29 May) also shows he can handle tight traps. Pawsome Bullet from T Taylor’s stable has form 45451, which reads poorly, though his sole win came in A2 company on 29 April. His recent run of fourth-place finishes across A1 grade suggests he has drifted. Kerrs Rancher, a young 1-year-old from Taylor’s yard, is less exposed with form 43163, including a win at Towcester. However, his 6th place at an Open trial on 30 May raises stamina questions over 500m. Droopys Prospect, Imonlytwink, and Droopys Roster all carry no recent form data, making them difficult to assess.

NAP: Straight Shot, Trap 2. Recent A2 winner with excellent late-closing form, handling tight traps, and running to a clear winning line with momentum.

17:31 – Grade A5, 500m

The closing A5 race features Slippy Jane, a veteran 4-year-old bitch from S Maplesden’s yard, with form 41424. Her standout recent effort came on 7 June when she won at A6 by a length from trap 1 using rails and a strong late run. That win is fresh, and trap 1 tonight suits her rails-hugging style. Droopys Favourit, a young dog aged just 1 year from T Taylor’s stable, shows form 24445 across five recent A4-A5 outings. His 2nd place on 11 June is encouraging, but a pattern of mid-field finishes suggests he lacks the closing speed needed at this grade. Fabulous Opera, also from Taylor’s yard, shows 45545 over recent A3-A5 races, a form line that offers little hope.

NAP: Slippy Jane, Trap 1. Recent winner at A6 with fresh momentum, proven rails affinity from trap 1, and veteran nous over 500m.
