Sheffield Greyhound Tips – Tuesday, 16 June 2026
Sheffield hosts a full 12-race card on Tuesday afternoon, starting at 11:01, with the final race at 14:07. This northern venue is renowned for its quality stayers and consistent, competitive A-grade racing.
11:18 – Grade A3, 500m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Battstreet Rebel | 2y D | D Fretwell | 134 |
| 3 | Droopys Nell | 3y B | K Hodson | 551 |
| 4 | Slippy Falcon | 3y D | S C Oxley | 241 |
| 5 | Slippy Patsy | 3y D | M O’Donnell | No form |
| 6 | Chain Lightning | 2y D | E Parker | No form |
Battstreet Rebel arrives in the opening A3 clash with genuine winning form. The two-year-old landed a decisive victory at Sheffield six days ago (1 June, winning by 1.5 lengths at 3.25), and earlier in May won again at A5 level. The form string reads 13451, showing a recent win and a clear indication the dog is ready to strike at this grade. Trap 1 carries a 22% strike rate over the last 60 days at this distance on the Sheffield sand, the highest of all six boxes. Battstreet Rebel has raced from Trap 2 and Trap 1 recently with success, and this draw should suit.
NAP: Battstreet Rebel, Trap 1.
Slippy Falcon also warrants attention, having finished second just two days ago at this very grade and distance. The dog has won once in this run and showed a near nose defeat (nk) to a rival. Trap 4 carries 19% historical strike rate and Slippy Falcon has shown classy form there.
11:34 – Grade A3, 500m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Not Pennys Boat | 2y B | K Hodson | 253 |
| 2 | Forest Magic | 3y B | L Taylorson | 414 |
| 3 | Mucky Trump | 2y D | S C Oxley | 111 |
| 4 | Carlow Pest | 2y B | D Cross | No form |
| 5 | Clonkil Smokey | 4y D | D Fretwell | No form |
Mucky Trump is the standout runner here. The two-year-old has strung together four consecutive wins across late May and early June, including three victories in quick succession at A4, A5 and A6 grades (29 May to 11 June). Form reads 11112, an elite sequence. Most recently the dog won from Trap 4 at A4 level with a strong early lead (SnLd), and before that triumphed at A5 and A6. Although Trap 3 carries a moderate 22% strike rate, Mucky Trump’s raw winning consistency and upward trajectory through the grades makes this the clear angle. The dog is shaping as a progressive operator.
NAP: Mucky Trump, Trap 3.
Forest Magic showed a narrow win at A4 just five days ago from Trap 2 (1.5 lengths at 1.80), but recent form includes a heavy defeat in handicap company. The A3 grade here represents a small step up in class.
11:52 – Grade A3, 500m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Tatti Gamble | 2y D | L Taylorson | 435 |
| 2 | No Danger | 3y D | K Hodson | 324 |
| 3 | Get Up Paddy | 4y D | J Sharp | 155 |
| 5 | Avongate Gloss | 3y B | M O’Donnell | No form |
| 6 | Nellies Charm | 2y B | K Hodson | No form |
Tatti Gamble holds the strongest recent evidence in this heat. The two-year-old won at this exact grade and distance on 21 May from Trap 1 (by 1 length), and has raced five times since, showing form figures of 34512 through the most recent outing. Trap 1 is the standout draw at Sheffield 500m with a 22% win strike rate across 60 days and 1,109 races. Tatti Gamble has competed from Trap 1 multiple times and showed early speed (SnLd, EP) on that winning day. The dog carries Trap 1 again here, which aligns perfectly with Sheffield’s bias data.
NAP: Tatti Gamble, Trap 1.
No Danger has chased a winner home twice in its form string, including a neck defeat, but carries inconsistent form with multiple mid-field finishes and one 5th place. Get Up Paddy showed a narrow win at A4 grade most recently but is trending downward, evidenced by a string of 5th-place finishes at A3 and A4 level.
12:42 – Grade A2, 500m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Lightfoot Cherry | 4y B | E Parker | 113 |
| 2 | Romeo Zone | 2y D | J Andrews | 521 |
| 3 | Swift Uni | 2y B | J Sharp | 415 |
| 4 | Dingle Bottom | 2y D | L Stephenson | No form |
| 5 | Killduff Pippa | 2y B | M O’Donnell | No form |
| 6 | Ivy Hill Sancho | 3y D | M O’Donnell | No form |
Lightfoot Cherry is the feature race standout and the meeting NAP. This four-year-old won at Sheffield A2 500m on 9 June (by 1.5 lengths from Trap 1) and the day before that secured a narrow A3 victory. Form reads 33213, with two wins in the last five. The dog has now raced five times from Trap 1 at this venue and distance, showing consistency and an obvious affinity with the early draw. Trap 1 holds the statistical edge at 22%, and Lightfoot Cherry’s proven record from this box at Sheffield 500m A2 level is decisive. E Parker trains a runner in excellent heart.
NAP: Lightfoot Cherry, Trap 1.
Romeo Zone has won twice in its recent form, including a solid victory at A4 from Trap 3 (by 1 length), but is only two years old and showed a 5th-place finish over 661m at Doncaster on 6 June, suggesting the longer trip exposed some distance limitations. Swift Uni is a young prospect with one A2 win but limited Sheffield consistency and a recent fall on 2 May at Star Pelaw raises concern.
Three runners (Dingle Bottom, Killduff Pippa, Ivy Hill Sancho) carry no recent form data and must be treated as unexposed or light on evidence at this competitive A2 level.
Meeting Overview
Sheffield’s card is weighted toward A3 grade action, with four races at that level, one A2 feature and two races with limited runner information. All feature races sit at the 500m standard trip, suiting dogs with proven Sheffield sand experience. No staying races or sprint specialists appear on this card. The trap bias data shows a clear advantage to Trap 1 (22%) across the full sample, a crucial factor when analysing draws.
Punters’ Note
Check starting prices in the 20 minutes before each race, as greyhound odds shift rapidly at UK tracks. Betfair, Bet365, SkyBet and William Hill all offer competitive greyhound markets. Forecast betting (selecting 1st and 2nd in order) is popular in six-runner fields and offers value when you identify form angles. Many punters also use reverse forecasts to cover both permutations.
