Sheffield Greyhound Racing Tips: Tuesday 28 April 2026
Sheffield hosts 12 races on Tuesday 28 April, with the first race at 11:01 and the final race at 14:07. This northern venue is renowned for its quality staying dogs and competitive fields across all grades.
Race 1: 12:42 | Grade A4 | 500m
Runners:
- Trap 1: Drumdoit Fern (J Andrews) - Form: 5346 (most recent left to right) from D2/D3 sprints
- Trap 2: Crystal Bruno (T D Coote) - Form: 45441 on A4 500m trips
- Trap 3: Another Syd (M O'Donnell) - Form: 52122 recent A4/A5 form
- Trap 5: Clonkil Smokey (D Fretwell) - Limited data available
- Trap 6: Droopys Suirway (R Draper) - Limited data available
NAP: Another Syd, Trap 3. The 2-year-old has shown consistent improvement at A4/A5 level. Most impressively, Syd led from trap 3 just four days ago (21 April) to finish second at A4 500m, pushing a 21.00-odds rival. Before that, a clear win at A5 from trap 3 on 14 April by 1.75 lengths shows class. Trap 3 suits the 500m at Sheffield with minimal bias, and Syd's early pace (EP, Ld1 notation) is an asset in competitive A4 fields. Crystal Bruno has failed to place in three recent A4 runs despite lower odds, making Another Syd the value play.
Race 2: 12:59 | Grade A5 | 500m
Runners:
- Trap 1: Fagans Peggy (J Sharp) - Form: 51315 including recent A6 win
- Trap 2: Westway Sailor (T D Coote) - Form: 43243 at A4/A5
- Trap 3: Mucky Signet (P Webster) - Form: 12523 with latest A6 win
- Trap 4: Get Up Paddy (J Sharp) - Limited data available
- Trap 5: Feora Cora (D Fretwell) - Limited data available
- Trap 6: Wilsham Pride (T D Coote) - Limited data available
NAP: Fagans Peggy, Trap 1. The 3-year-old's form reads superbly: a win at A6 just four days ago (21 April) followed by consistent A6 placings. Peggy shows quick away speed (QAw, ALd notation on 21 April) and leads from the front effectively. Despite the A5 step up in grade, her recent win margin of 2 lengths and consistent trap 1 outings at Sheffield show she has the class to compete. Mucky Signet is in form but shows more inconsistency: recent A6 win was head-and-head tight, and the dog's A7 run five weeks back ended fifth. Fagans Peggy's steadier progression and front-running tactics make her the safer selection.
Race 3: 13:33 | Grade A5 | 500m
Runners:
- Trap 1: Daniel Is Here (T D Coote) - Form: 45245 at A5
- Trap 2: Blue Gate In (R Draper) - Form: 24225 recent A4/A5
- Trap 3: Slippy Oleg (M O'Donnell) - Form: 12112 outstanding recent record
- Trap 4: Dingle Bottom (L Stephenson) - Limited data available
- Trap 5: Chain Lightning (E Parker) - Limited data available
- Trap 6: Blake Delight (M O'Donnell) - Limited data available
NAP: Slippy Oleg, Trap 3. This 3-year-old is the standout of the card. Recent form reads 12112: a win (2.20 odds) four days ago from trap 3, then second by 2 lengths, third by 2.75, another win by a shade on 31 March, and second by a neck. Oleg has won twice in five runs and placed in the other three. The dog leads and races on rails (Ld3, ClrRn, CrdStt notations) effectively. Blue Gate In's form is respectable but shows fourth-place finishes and a missed break; Daniel Is Here has drifted to fifth place three times recently. Slippy Oleg's consistency and winning pedigree at this exact grade and distance make it the clear meeting selection.
Race 4: 11:52 | Grade A6 | 500m
Runners:
- Trap 1: Drumdoit Alfie (J Andrews) - Form: 16561 mixed A5/A6 results
- Trap 2: Thats Mikeys (P Webster) - Form: 63612 on varied trips
- Trap 3: Fugazi (J Sharp) - Form: 23633 at A5/A6
- Trap 5: Russanda Lipsy (E Parker) - Limited data available
- Trap 6: Sandwood Chloe (L Stephenson) - Limited data available
Drumdoit Alfie's form is erratic: a second place on 21 April masks sixth-place finishes either side. Thats Mikeys shows early promise (win at A7 on 3 April) but recent runs include a sixth on 23 April. Fugazi's most recent run was second by a head from trap 3 four days ago, showing sharp form. Form dips midway but recovery is evident. This is a weaker race with several unexposed runners at A6 level.
Meeting Overview
Sheffield's card spans A4 to A6 grades with four feature races at the standard 500m trip. The sand surface and reputation for quality staying fields is evident here. No sprint or hurdle races feature. The 12-race card offers solid graded racing across the afternoon, with the A4/A5 races providing the strongest betting interest.
