Towcester Greyhound Tips – Saturday, 20 June 2026

Towcester’s sand surface is known for favouring stayers, and Saturday’s card delivers a full programme of 12 races across the afternoon and early evening.

14:58 – Grade A5, 500m

Flickering Belle holds strong credentials here. The two-year-old bitch won most recently on 14 June at Towcester in an A6 race by 1.5 lengths, and she carries excellent Towcester form. Crucially, she has won at this exact grade (A5) previously and shows consistent releases from trap 2, where she ran in four of her last five outings. Her form string reads positively over the past fortnight, with a 1-2 sequence suggesting rising confidence. Trap 1 shows a 21 per cent strike rate at 500m here, but Flickering Belle’s recent wins have come from trap 2 (18 per cent) where she settles well into her mid-running style. Look for her to hold position through the middle, where her rail-work and acceleration have proven most effective.

NAP: Flickering Belle, Trap 1.

15:18 – Grade A2, 500m

Roanna Sharp is the standout selection in this competitive A2 affair. The three-year-old bitch won at this exact grade and distance on 8 May, clocking a 1.25-length victory, and returned with a narrow second on 29 May at Romford (575m, Open race) where she showed she can travel beyond standard. Her most recent outing on 7 June at Towcester saw a 5th place from trap 1, but that came with release and bump notes suggesting traffic rather than lack of pace. Trap 1 at Towcester 500m enjoys the highest strike rate (21 per cent) in recent data, and Roanna’s record from that draw is solid. She has proven versatility across multiple grades and tracks, and her trainer C Condon has her well primed for this return to A2 company.

15:38 – Grade A6, 500m

Ivy Hill Maisy emerges as the clearest value proposition in this A6 contest. The two-year-old bitch won just four days ago (10 June) from trap 2 at Towcester in an A7 race, defeating the field by three-quarters of a length. Her form trajectory is upward, and she has shown capability at both A7 and A6 levels. Most telling is her recent 2nd place on 3 June, also at Towcester from trap 1 in A7, confirming she handles this track and distance with ease. She has raced five times in the last month and is clearly race-sharp. Her middle-running style suits Towcester’s sand well, and whilst trap 2 (18 per cent) is slightly below trap 1’s 21 per cent rate, her recent back-to-back form from both draws suggests the trap is secondary to her current racing rhythm.

NAP: Ivy Hill Maisy, Trap 3.

16:38 – Grade A3, 500m

Ballymac Loca presents solid value at A3 level. The four-year-old bitch holds recent winning form at this track on 31 May (B1, 460m, by a shade), and she has proven adaptable across distances and grades. Her A3 outing on 7 June saw a 3rd place at Towcester from trap 1 where she was blocked early but ran on, indicating good fitness. Trap 1’s 21 per cent strike rate at 500m favours her draw, and at four years old with multiple trips around Towcester, she knows the track intimately. The field lacks obvious standouts from available form, and Ballymac Loca’s consistency and track knowledge make her a solid each-way proposition, particularly in forecast markets.

Meeting Overview: Saturday’s card spans grades A2 through A6 across the 500m trip, with Towcester’s sand surface promising a classic stayers’ day. All feature races sit at standard distance, suiting front-runners and middle-ground runners equally. The field sizes are competitive, and punters should watch for trap advantage data, particularly trap 1’s 21 per cent recent strike rate.

Punters’ Note: Starting prices firm up 15 minutes before each race; check Betfair, Bet365, SkyBet and William Hill for best greyhound odds. Forecast and reverse forecast markets offer excellent value on a card with multiple competitive heats. Each-way betting is rarely offered on six-runner fields in greyhound racing, so focus on win and place bets or combination forecasts for added cover.
