Sheffield Greyhound Tips – Thursday 18 June 2026

Sheffield hosts 12 races across the card on Thursday afternoon, kicking off at 11:03. This northern venue is renowned for quality staying racing on sand, and today’s feature races at 500m will suit dogs with genuine pace and track craft.

11:03 – Grade A5 500m

This opener features Confident Rover, Sandwood Trinity, Olwinn Sheeran, Steeple Rd Laura, and Feora Cora. Confident Rover has been competing consistently at A5 level and picked up a second-place finish at Sheffield on 11 June over this exact distance and grade, losing only by 1.5 lengths from Trap 1. The form shows repeated attempts at this grade with narrow defeats, suggesting a dog knocking on the door. Olwinn Sheeran offers alternative value: recent victory on 5 June in an HP 500m race by 4.25 lengths demonstrates clear winning form, though stepping back into graded racing at A5 is a test. Sandwood Trinity is less exposed at this grade after recent bumping trouble. NAP: Confident Rover, Trap 1. Trap 1 holds a 22% win strike over 60 days at 500m here, and Rover’s repeat visits to the same track from the same gate suggest familiarity will count.

11:36 – Grade A5 500m

Text Roisin emerges as the standout performer in this field. The 4-year-old has posted consecutive A6 victories at Sheffield on 2 June and 26 May, winning by narrow margins (0.5 lengths and a nose respectively) with locked early pace notes. Stepping up to A5 from Trap 2 on 9 June resulted in a respectable third-place finish by 6 lengths, suggesting the grade is manageable. Darver Lassie won at A6 level on 30 May from Trap 3 but has shown inconsistency in recent A5 attempts, with a crowded run costing ground. Miller Ned is predominantly a sprint runner (D3 280m) with limited recent 500m form at A5 and returns after lameness. NAP: Text Roisin, Trap 2. The form trajectory is strong, the track record is proven, and Trap 2 at 20% strike is solid enough to support a dog with this level of recent confidence.

12:59 – Grade A3 500m

This is the strongest race on the card. Braemar Millie has shown excellent form from Trap 1: a winning effort on 11 June by a neck, a third-place finish on 5 June, and a second on 29 May, all at A3 level from the same trap at 500m. The recent win marked a clear return to form after a sixth-place finish on 19 May. Trap 1 at Sheffield carries a 22% win strike and suits this dog’s early-pace racing style. Blue Gate In has stepped up from A5 to A2 (11 June, second by 0.5 lengths), showing upward form trajectory, and won twice at A4 and A5 earlier in the month. However, Braemar Millie’s consistency from an advantageous gate in a higher-quality field makes the preference clear. NAP: Braemar Millie, Trap 1. The dog has documented A3 form at this track and distance, a winning recent record, and the trap data strongly supports inside racing here.

13:31 – Grade A4 500m

Constant Coco has recorded a winning record at this exact grade and distance: victories at HP level on 22 May and 8 May, plus a second-place finish on 28 May at A4 by a head. Recent form shows bumping trouble on 11 June from Trap 2, but the dog’s historical A4 form is solid. Fagans Peggy offers consistent placing form, with three consecutive runs between A4 and A5, including a recent third on 9 June at A4. Da Safety Net has mixed form with a second on 11 June at A4 but crowding and traffic-related comments appear frequently. Ten Ton Simba, Listen Jessie, and Supa Mizzy lack recent form data and cannot be reliably assessed. NAP: Constant Coco, Trap 1. The dog’s two HP victories and A4 second place recent form represent proven ability, and Trap 1 again carries solid percentages (22%) on Sheffield 500m racing.
