Nottingham Greyhound Tips – Friday, 12 June 2026
Colwick Park hosts a 12-race card from 18:08, with competitive A-grade racing and a strong spread of form across the Midlands’ most established greyhound venue.
18:48 – Grade A3, 500m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Twilight Brook | 2y D | P Holland | 444 |
| 2 | Swift Talk | 1y B | T Munslow | -1 |
| 3 | Aremagicaremagic | 1y B | L Cook | 515 |
| 4 | Glideaway Fever | 2y B | J Daly | No form |
| 5 | Golden Lion | 1y D | E Driver | No form |
| 6 | Vair Little Legs | 1y B | K A Lempard | No form |
Twilight Brook heads the market in Trap 1 off the back of a recent A3 win at Nottingham on 27 April. The dog has recorded four consecutive fourth-place finishes since, showing some inconsistency, but the early-season winning form and the recent narrow defeat margins suggest a dog capable of returning to the frame. Trap 1 at Nottingham’s 500m carries a 22% strike rate over the last 60 days, the highest of any trap, and the early-pace profile suits Twilight Brook’s running style. NAP: Twilight Brook, Trap 1.
Aremagicaremagic represents value as a 1-year-old filly coming off a recent A3 win (29 May, Trap 3), though the dog has shown minor form inconsistency and a non-arrival on 13 May warrants caution. Swift Talk is a 1-year-old with limited racing and a single non-arrival; unexposed at this grade.
20:28 – Grade A2, 500m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Churchill Boy | 2y D | L Cook | 32-1 |
| 2 | Braceys Boy | 2y D | J Gray | 333 |
| 3 | Soapbox Keli | 2y B | S Deakin | 165 |
| 4 | Skyfall Boss Man | 4y D | E Driver | No form |
| 5 | Optic Helmet | 2y D | B Denby | No form |
| 6 | Roanna Ash | 3y B | P Holland | No form |
Churchill Boy in Trap 1 brings proven form to this A2 contest, with a recent win on 22 April and back-to-back podium finishes (3rd and 2nd) in the last two outings. The 2-year-old dog has settled well at Nottingham and Trap 1’s 22% win rate aligns with his front-running ability. A non-arrival on 13 May is a minor blot, but recent runs suggest he has recovered form. NAP: Churchill Boy, Trap 1.
Braceys Boy (Trap 2) has recorded three consecutive third-place finishes and one win (27 April, Trap 2), indicating a consistent A2 performer, though the recent third-place finishes suggest a dog struggling to break through at this level. Soapbox Keli (Trap 3) won at A3 level most recently (29 May) but has shown mixed results at A2, with a 6th-place finish and a non-arrival earlier in the sequence; less reliable than Churchill Boy. Skyfall Boss Man, Optic Helmet, and Roanna Ash all carry limited or unavailable form data.
20:48 – Grade A3, 500m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Dower Holly | 2y B | L Cook | 115 |
| 2 | Elite Max | 2y D | J Llewellin | 143 |
| 3 | Skyfall Kitzie | 1y B | E Driver | 315 |
| 4 | Worra Cuddle | 2y D | J Gray | No form |
| 5 | Bills Lassie | 2y B | K Wilton | No form |
| 6 | Kind Cian | 5y D | J Llewellin | No form |
Dower Holly in Trap 1 is the standout performer here, fresh off an emphatic A5 win at Nottingham just three days ago (5 June), with a 6-length margin. The 2-year-old bitch has shown progressive form and consistent early pace; the recent win inside a week of racing demonstrates readiness and fitness. Trap 1’s 22% strike rate reinforces the appeal. NAP: Dower Holly, Trap 1.
Elite Max (Trap 2) posted an A4 win on 1 June by the narrowest margin and has recorded wins at A4 and A5 levels, but the recent fourth-place finish on a 305m course suggests inconsistency over shorter distances. Skyfall Kitzie (Trap 3) has a recent A3 win (29 May) with strong early pace, but limited race history and a short sample size make her harder to back with confidence. Worra Cuddle, Bills Lassie, and Kind Cian all carry insufficient or unavailable form data.
21:28 – Grade A2, 500m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Sawdust Peg | 3y B | B Denby | 422 |
| 2 | Deelish Denzel | 2y D | J Gray | 232 |
| 3 | Independent Lady | 4y B | L Cook | 664 |
| 4 | Hollyhill Bullet | 1y D | F Macklin | No form |
| 5 | Leo The Yank | 2y D | J Gray | No form |
| 6 | Kylenoe Stan | 2y D | B Denby | No form |
Deelish Denzel in Trap 2 emerges as the pick here, with a strong recent run of form: a second-place finish on 4 June (by just 1 length) and a third-place on 22 May. The 2-year-old dog has shown front-running tendencies and led from bend 3 in his latest outing; his early pace is sharp and he has competed well at A2 level. A fourth-place finish on 7 May at A1 suggests he has dipped slightly in grade, which suits a dog of his ability. NAP: Deelish Denzel, Trap 2.
Sawdust Peg (Trap 1) has a mixed recent record with wins on 18 April and 17 April at A2 level, but the recent form shows fourth-place finishes and congestion issues (Crd5, Crd1), indicating she may be struggling at this grade. Independent Lady (Trap 3) has posted one A2 win (10 April) but has recorded four consecutive defeats including two recent sixth-place finishes; lacks current form. Hollyhill Bullet, Leo The Yank, and Kylenoe Stan all carry limited or unavailable form.
Meeting Overview
Friday’s card is dominated by A-grade racing (A2 and A3) across the feature races, with consistent 500m trip racing and no staying or sprint variants featured. The sand surface at Colwick Park rewards early pace, and recent trap bias data shows Trap 1 with a clear 22% advantage; dogs with proven early-pace ability will hold an edge.
