Romford Greyhound Tips – Monday 22 June 2026
Romford returns on Monday with a 12-race card starting at 11:09, finishing at 14:14. This fast sand track is notoriously high-draw biased, with trap 3 winning 32 per cent of races over 400m in the last 60 days, making tactical positioning crucial for punters.
11:09 – Grade A2 400m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Rebel George | 2y D | D Mullins | 364 |
| 2 | Easy Vegas | 2y D | D Hurlock | 224 |
| 3 | Miami Sapphire | 3y D | P Young | 524 |
| 4 | Essex Crazy | 2y D | M Westwood | No form |
| 6 | Chelms Simmo | 4y D | D Mullins | No form |
Miami Sapphire is the standout selection here. Trained by P Young, the 3-year-old has strong recent Romford form, finishing 2nd at this track and grade just six days ago (10 June, 3.00 odds) with a quick away and middle-track run. Most importantly, Miami Sapphire draws trap 3, which carries a commanding 32 per cent strike rate at Romford over 400m. The dog’s form string shows mid-racing patterns with occasional bumping into turn one, but early pace and positioning from trap 3 should neutralise congestion. Rebel George (trap 1) is battling trap bias from the inside draw; Easy Vegas (trap 2) lacks recent A-grade form despite a win at Towcester; Essex Crazy and Chelms Simmo have minimal data available.
NAP: Miami Sapphire, Trap 3.
12:01 – Grade A4 400m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Pin Position | 3y D | D Mullins | 343 |
| 2 | Slipalong Move | 3y D | P Young | 264 |
| 3 | Bombay Jupiter | 3y D | P Young | 232 |
| 4 | Tromora Pine | 2y D | K O’Flaherty | No form |
| 5 | Easy Mucker | 3y D | D Hurlock | No form |
Bombay Jupiter presents excellent value. This P Young-trained 3-year-old has won two races at Romford in A3-A4 company and arrives in consistent form, posting three consecutive 2nd or 3rd place finishes at this track and grade. Crucially, Bombay Jupiter draws trap 3 again, where the 32 per cent advantage is decisive. The form pattern shows mid-track to rails running with early bumping into the first bend, but trap 3 positioning allows the dog to settle and drive late, as evidenced by the 15 June 2nd place run at A3. Slipalong Move (trap 2) has drifted to lower grades and shows recent 6th-place form; Pin Position (trap 1) is inside-trapped with weak recent Romford form.
NAP: Bombay Jupiter, Trap 3.
11:27 – Grade A5 400m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Jeopardy Panther | 4y D | P Young | 422 |
| 2 | Fastlane Pam | 3y B | D Childs | 344 |
| 3 | Newtown Champ | 3y D | A Kelly-Pilgrim | 354 |
| 4 | Ideal Guest | 1y B | P Burr | No form |
| 5 | Yahoo Orla | 2y B | P Young | No form |
| 6 | Four Votes | 2y B | A Kelly-Pilgrim | No form |
Jeopardy Panther is the pace angle here. This 4-year-old trained by P Young won at Romford over this grade and distance on 16 May (4.00 odds), leading near the line with rails running. Recent form shows consistent 2nd-place finishes at A4-A5, indicating the dog remains competitive at this level. Though Jeopardy Panther draws trap 1, the dog’s slow-away and rails-run pattern suits being settled early into the first bend, avoiding the premium trap 3 advantage in what looks a modest A5 field. Newtown Champ (trap 3) posted a recent 3rd-place finish here but lacks the consistency of Jeopardy Panther’s run record. Fastlane Pam, Ideal Guest, Yahoo Orla and Four Votes all carry insufficient form data.
NAP: Jeopardy Panther, Trap 1.
13:42 – Grade A3 400m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Lightfoot Jamie | 2y D | D Hurlock | 324 |
| 2 | Coyote Izzy | 1y B | M Wiley | 412 |
| 3 | Tiermana Scott | 2y D | D Hurlock | 145 |
| 4 | Bump N Run | 1y D | K O’Flaherty | No form |
| 5 | Silvertown Blues | 2y B | P Burr | No form |
Tiermana Scott emerges as the strongest selection in this race. Trained by D Hurlock, this 2-year-old has two wins from four recent Romford outings and draws trap 3, the dominant gate bias at 32 per cent. Most recent form shows a 4th place at A4 but with mid-track bumping patterns typical of younger dogs. The earlier wins at A4 (8 June by 2ยผ lengths) and A4 (11 May by 6ยผ) demonstrate genuine ability and Romford-specific familiarity. Lightfoot Jamie (trap 1) has consistent 2nd and 3rd place form but suffers from inside-trap congestion despite showing bumping and closing-run characteristics. Coyote Izzy won at A4 but is a young, unexposed bitch at A3 grade dropping from A4.
NAP: Tiermana Scott, Trap 3.
Meeting Overview
Romford’s 12-race card spans A2 to A5 grades with consistent 400m distances. The sand track’s pronounced high-draw advantage means trap 3 will dominate the meeting if Romford’s recent 60-day data holds true. All feature races show trap 3 runners competing at or above grade, with strong recent form and tactical benefits from the middle draw. Watch for inside-trapped runners battling congestion into the first bend.
