Romford Greyhound Tips | 20 June 2026

Romford Greyhound Tips – Saturday, 20 June 2026

Romford hosts a full 24-race card on Saturday with first race at 11:09. This is a fast, track-biased sand circuit where trap draw carries significant influence, particularly on the 400m trips that dominate the day’s programme.

11:09 – Grade A5, 400m

The opener features a competitive A5 field. Maxgrove Diamond (Trap 1) has recent form but shows a run of fourth-place finishes from mid-May, though picked up a second on 15 June. Bacon Surprise (Trap 3) is notably unexposed at this level with just two runs visible, but impressed with a convincing win at A6 on 15 June by 2.5 lengths after quick away and led throughout. Given Romford’s strong trap 3 bias (32% win rate over 60 days), Bacon Surprise’s quick-away credentials and rails-to-lead style suit the middle draw perfectly.

NAP: Bacon Surprise, Trap 3.

12:51 – Grade A3, 400m

Bonfire Bullet (Trap 1) has won once recently (9 June) but alternates between wins and placings with tap-away issues appearing. Potentia Forever (Trap 2) shows mixed recent form with a disqualification and heavy loss on 23 May, though did win at A4 on 18 May by a half-length. Hollywood Bullet (Trap 3) is a long-form runner with wins stretching back to January, but form is sparse and unclear for current A3 status. Trap 3 bias suggests an edge, but Potentia Forever’s recent A3 second on 10 June (by 3.75 lengths) from Trap 2 indicates the runner is competitive at this grade. Trap 2 carries 16% strike rate, making this a closer call than trap 3’s dominance would suggest.

NAP: Potentia Forever, Trap 2.

13:08 – Grade A1, 400m

This is the day’s feature race at the top grade. Untold Ripple (Trap 1) won most recently on 6 June at A1 and 2 May at A2, showing clear A1 form, though Trap 1 holds just 18% strike rate at Romford’s 400m. Velvet Rolo (Trap 2) also won on 6 June at A1 by three-quarters and has consistent A1 placings, but one disqualification on 22 May raises questions. Carmelfromcanew (Trap 3) offers the standout case: won at A2 on 10 June by half-length, and previously won at A1 in February. Sitting in Trap 3 with a 32% win rate, this dog has proven A1 pedigree and benefits from Romford’s strongest draw bias. The mid-draw suits Carmelfromcanew’s mid-rails running style perfectly.

NAP: Carmelfromcanew, Trap 3.

13:26 – Grade A5, 400m

Katsumoto (Trap 1) is a four-year-old veteran showing form from February through May but no recent racing. Jeopardy Andy (Trap 2) displays consistent third and fourth finishes at A3-A4 with recent runs, suggesting established competence at A5 level. Jacktavern Taz (Trap 3) won at A6 on 6 June from Trap 4 by three-quarters and has shown mixed results around A5-A6 grade. Jeopardy Andy’s most recent outing (13 June) returned a third-place finish at A4 in Trap 2 with bumped at break, indicating current fitness and competitive standing. The trap 2 draw (16% win rate) is not ideal for Romford, but Andy’s consistent A3-A4 record suggests capability to measure A5 opposition, particularly with recent race fitness.

NAP: Jeopardy Andy, Trap 2.
